Figure 6.6. Agent Filter Dialog

The filter dialog can be accessed from the Agent Menu or from the agent popup menu (see Figure 6.6, “Agent Filter Dialog” ). There is also a Default filter menu item allowing to set the same values for a prototypic agent used for new agents introduced to the tracer.

It allows the user to customize, what kind of traces are interesting for her. The trace type filter can be used to choose among different kinds of traces. The fillter will pass all traces by kind if the corresponding check box is marked. The limit of trace history below allows to store only a specified number of traces in the tracer and may be set for each agent. Moving the slider to the right-most position implies that no limit will be enforced.

Changes in the dialog are applied immeadiately. The dialog will hide when it looses the focus.
