Creating filters

To create a filter, right-click Log Service in the tree underneath the General Settings node, and select New Filter. Specify a name and a description in the dialog. Select the check box Active to enable the filter. You may switch the filter on and off later. In the drop-down list Type select the logging method.

In the drop-down list Level select the event category that is to be logged: Critical Error, Error, Warning, Information, or Debug. Each category includes the preceding ones. In the Event ID text box you specify IDs of events that must be logged.

Note: Changes of an active filter immediately affect the logging. Very extensive logging may consume large portions of the system resources, for example, a filter that logs all events.
