Right-click on the log tab to open a context menu providing options for a particular log:
- Clear log
Clears the log. All data will be removed from a corresponding file. Removed files cannot be refreshed.
- Displayed application name
The way how application names will be displayed:
Full path — full path to the application's executable file
File name — name of the application's executable
Description — description of the application (if it is not available, name of the executable without the extension is displayed)
Check/ uncheck the Show icons option to enable/disable showing icons (the system icon for executables will be used if the application has no icon).
- Resolve address
Names of computers will be displayed instead of IP addresses.
Computer names are found through DNS. Unless a name is found, IP address will be displayed.
- Resolve port
Names of services will be displayed instead of port numbers (this function is available only for standard services defined in the
servicessystem file).- Resolve protocol
Names of protocols will be displayed instead of protocol numbers (this function is available only for standard protocols defined in the
protocolssystem file).
Note:
Some logs do not provide all items mentioned above — i.e. no network communication is displayed for the System log. Therefore Resolve address, Resolve port and Resolve protocol functions are not available.
The Displayed application name and Resolve address/port/protocol options are applied globally — their setting influences all logs, the Overview / Connections section (see chapter 15.1. Connections and Open Ports Overview), Connection alert (see chapter 5.2. Connection Alert (unknown traffic detection)) and Starting / Replacing application dialogs (see chapter 5.3. Starting/Replacing/Launching other application Dialog) and the Alert window (refer to chapter 5.5. Alert Dialog Window (alerts on events)). View configuration is also described in corresponding chapters.
