You can use LPSM Search to view the log results from various devices and machines connected to the Director setup.

Query Bar¶
The query string is a logical combination of words, phrases, or field values. You can enter a simple query string or build a search string to aggregate different values in the search result and display the result in a graphical format.

You can write multiple commands into a single query by using the pipeline (|) character.
You can write queries in multiple lines in the query bar. Press Shift + Enter to add a new line.
You can select the Time range and apply it to your search. The default time range is Last 10 minutes. You can also choose a range from the Last x time-range template or select a time range from the Custom range picker for searches. The custom time ranges such as Last 1 hour, Last 6 hours, and Last 7 days are available in the drop-down.
