View log entry details in the Fields pane

The Fields pane provides several alternative views to the log entry that is selected.

The pane is most useful in the Records arrangement. This arrangement shows a subset of fields and the information contained in the selected field. Using the Records arrangement, you can quickly browse the logs table for the exact details you are looking for without scrolling sideways or rearranging the columns.

The Watchlist item allows you to create a customized list of fields for your own use. The Watchlist is specific to each Management Client installation.

You can look up a selected IP address in the online Whois database.

If an IP address in a log entry has a country flag icon next to it, a Geolocation (for example, a street, city, or country) has been associated with it. You can view the physical location of these IP addresses in Google Maps.

To change your personal Watchlist of log fields, follow these steps:
