FAQ

Why might not all log entries be loaded, even though they match the search parameters?

The property logentries.cap.server allows you to specify the maximum number of log entries to be loaded. By default, this property is set to 1000. To load all log entries matched by the search parameters, even if their number exceeds the default limit, select “Yes” from the “Display large data” menu.
