1. If a lot of events are coming in too fast they can be suspended by selecting the Suspend refreshing events button. When this is unselected the event viewer will instantly update to show all events that have occurred since it was suspended. This may cause some older events to disappear, if the event log size limit has been reached.

• 'Max event history' is the maximum number of events that will be seen in the event viewer. As events are stored in memory, the number of events being stored becomes high. This can adversely affect performance so the settings also show a rough approximation of how much memory the selected number of events is likely to consume.
• 'Date format', 'Time format' and show milliseconds are basic options to customize how the date and time each event occurred is displayed in the table and text area of the event viewer.
