Advanced view
This toggle controls the log view: advanced (enabled) and basic (disabled).
The Advanced view presents а diagram that shows merged billing and SIP logs. You can review log messages among components as well as logs as raw text on the Log view panel. Use the controls below to manage the log display: add/remove components, change log level or refine log parts for a specific interval.
The Basic view presents general information about a session in the form of a diagram among the main participants (e.g., SIP phones and PortaSwitch). It highlights the issue description and gives troubleshooting instructions for the most common issues.
When you open the Log viewer for the first time, you see sessions in advanced view. Services such as Internet access, WiFi, etc. include only billing logs. Therefore, when you open a session log, you always see the billing log first.
When you change the view, your settings are saved and subsequent logs are opened accordingly.
