Filter: If you are interested in only certain messages, you can indicate this with keywords. Only messages that contain all of the whitespace-separated words you enter in this text box will be delivered. If you leave "No Filter" selected, all messages will be delivered. Note that you can also change the filter after a connection has been established. Those who wish to do more specialized filtering may use the CMLOG query syntax. To do so, enter ':' as the first character of the filter, and follow that with a valid CMLOG query. See examples in section #Retrieved Message Filter Pattern Examples below.
Live / Old Messages: If you choose to listen for live messages (the default), you must specify how much time's worth to keep. Do so by entering a number and a unit of time in the text box (e.g. 10 minutes, or 3 hours, or 2 days, ...). When the connection is first established, the entire timespan will be filled in with previously logged messages. They will disappear from the viewer when they become too old.
