Viewing Syslog Messages of Saved Files
You can open and view syslog files that were saved on the computer on which Syslog Viewer is running. When opening syslog files, Syslog Viewer creates a window tab for each opened file.

The "Syslog Listener" automatically pauses when you open a file. |

It may take a few seconds to open and load large files. Make sure that the file is fully loaded by verifying that the "Total" counter on the status bar stabilizes. |
