Caveats and Issues¶
Known Limits¶

The maximum number of fields supported is 30.
The application only supports plain text log files (8-bit Ascii).
The time span of a log file must be less than 292 years.
Known Issues¶
The table control doesn’t always resize columns correctly.
Filtering an event view whose table display has been sorted appears to enter
a near infinite loop re-sorting the data
Graph drawing performance is poor for large datasets
Clicking in the event views does not always cause the session navigator to select the corresponding event, causing the two views to be out of sync.
There is no documentation on events; UI pictures are out of date.
When setting a marker to hilite the location of an event, the system assumes that the date/time field name contains the text “date”.
Where several lines have the same timecode; the global marker is set to the first such line, but the screen scrolls to the last. This is confusing when the two aren’t visible at the same time.
Leading irregular lines in the log are not displayed.
Only one instance of NLV can run at a time on a system.
There is no regression testing.
