To increase the Monitor performance, if you have a large number of records in your Activity Log it is recommended that you stop the Activity Log fetching when this process is not necessary, and that you increase the Refresh Rate interval. This will let you browse the available records more efficiently. You can restart the Activity Log fetching at any time. These actions are relevant to all views of the Monitor.
-
To stop the Activity Log fetching process, use the Actions menu entries or the Run, Stop, or Refresh Activity Log toolbar buttons.
-
To increase the Refresh rate interval in the Advanced Properties dialog box, go to the Settings menu, select the Activity Log dialog box and click Advanced.
