Filtering events

   The filter icon () indicates you are in filter mode. Click the icon to toggle modes, as needed.

2. Click Add Filter, and then select a filter.
3. In the filter field, type or select a value.
4. To change the filter action, click the equal sign (=) for the filter.

   For example, you can select != to make the filter a negate condition.

To filter events using the right-click menu:
