Eventlog

The eventlist has a limited length and displays only the latest event. All events though are
stored in a database, the eventlog. From this it is possible to look at events for a longer
period of time.

As the number of stored events often are several thousands, you search for the events you
are interested in with different search criteria. The events matching the search critiera are
diplayed in a list.

The event log dialog is viewed in figure 'Eventlog' below.
