Filters

Filters allow to specify which information from log files should be analyzed.

There are two types of filters: include and exclude filters. The program uses them to determine whether it should analyze certain information or not. If the information meets the criteria of at least one include filter and doesn't meet the criteria of any exclude filter, it will be analyzed. If no include filters are defined the "Include All" filter is used by default.

You can use the following wildcards in some filters: "*" corresponds to any number of any characters and "?" corresponds to any single character.

The following filters are supported:
