Within SEAL: Start the cmlog viewer by starting its Eclipse View. That is, Window -> Show View (you may need to select Other ... at this point) SEAL -> cmlog. Once started, use the File -> Get Messages dialog to connect to a cmlog server.
Stand-Alone viewer: Run Option 1: On the CA network, run $LCLS_ROOT/bin/cmlogviewer from the command-line.
Option 2: On the CA network, from the lcls home screen, selec "Message Viewer".
Option 3: From a linux workstation with access to AFS, run /afs/slac/g/lcls/physics/bin/cmlogviewer
Getting Some Messages

...
If you simply want to retrieve only those messages containing some text, then just put the text in the dialog box and hit return. For instance, if you want to retrieve only messages with QUAD in the them.

More complicated searches, such as those on specific fields other than the Text field, or those involving negation , must be preceded by ":".
