Search Dashboard

The Search Dashboard page displays your running and completed searches. Each search has a Search ID (search + server ID) that can later be modified for an easier finding. Saved search results (once loaded) will also be shown on this page along with their unique identifier name. For further details, see Persisting Search Results .

Search widgets (Filters, Saved Searches, Fieldsets, Lookup Files, and Peers) are located at the top of the page and display the total number of items for each category stored in your Logger. To view a results table with specific details for each of the search types, click the corresponding widget.

To view an Active Search:

1. From the Search page, execute a search. See Running a Search.

2. Go to Analyze > Search Dashboard. A series of search details (Time Range, Execution Start Time, Local Only, Time Type, Hits, Scanned, Status, and expiration time) will be displayed for each of the active searches. If no active searches are running, the search dashboard page will be empty.

3. To review the search parameters, click the icon. A tab redirecting to the actual search page will be opened. Notice a maximum of 10 tabs (including the search dashboard) can be opened. After reaching this limit, Logger will not redirect you to any search (even to ones in existing tabs) unless you close a tab.
Tip: If you modify any search parameter and then execute the search, Logger will considered it a new active search.

To rename the search (except the search results loaded), double click the tab and add a unique name. Click outside the title box or press enter to save the changes.

4. To close the active search tab, simply click the icon.

You can also access the Search Dashboard from the Search page. Click the icon to open a specific search or the Search Dashboard.

To create a new search, click the icon. See Running a Search for further details.
