System Monitor uses its main display area to show records received from the connected system. Alternatively, it can display a previously saved logged file for study.
Important:
The screen log is limited to approximately 5000 records. If you anticipate logging for a long period or selecting a lot of trace options, you should log to file and then display the file. Large log files can be displayed in a separate text editor.
The records displayed in the screen log are not the raw records as received from the system, instead that are interpreted records. System Monitor applies various changes to aid the interpretation of the records. For example, a record containing the raw entry pcol=6 is interpreted and displayed as pcol=6 (TCP).
