The easiest option is to create a <a href="https://www.logviewplus.com/docs/save_and_share_filters.html" id="if_insertedNode_1718348607016">Filter Template</a>.&nbsp; This can then be applied after the log file is opened.<br/><br/>2. If you are opening the same target log file, you can use a <a href="https://www.logviewplus.com/docs/save_a_workspace.html" id="if_insertedNode_1718348641473">Workspace</a>.<br/><br/>3. Finally, you may be able to use a <a href="https://www.logviewplus.com/docs/advanced_rules.html" id="if_insertedNode_1718348720382">Rule Filter</a>.&nbsp; You will need to play with the <a href="https://www.logviewplus.com/docs/rules.html" id="if_insertedNode_1718348792044">rule settings</a> to get the behaviour you want.&nbsp; I would suggest creating your filter and then applying a pretty print rule set to Default.<br/><br/>Hope that helps,<br/><br/>TobyFri, 14 Jun 2024 07:26:28 GMTLogViewPlus Support
