To add a further file to the display, proceed as follows:

  1. Click  .

  2. In the Add dialog, enter the path and the file name of the desired file. Example: /var/log/splash.debug

    If you want to add several files, you can also use the asterisk *. Example: /var/log/*.log or  /var/log/*.txt


  3. Click OK.

    When the System Log Viewer is started, the file that you have added will be shown.
