Activity

The Activity log at the bottom of the Monitor window contains a table listing any activity for the tests. This can include when tests are edited, paused, resumed, started checking, stopped, completed, plus the status and output of the service and any filters, along with notifications. As with the changes log, if no tests are selected, the activity from all tests are listed; if some or one are selected, only the activity from those selected tests are listed. The columns can be sorted, and the order toggled, as desired.

Also included is a search field. This is useful to refine the information shown in the table even further. You can select one or more tests in the tests table, then enter some text in the search field to view just the table lines that contain that text.

Here are the details of the columns:
