3. Set a search condition for filtering the alert log information that you want to view.
   You should note the following about setting a search condition:
   - For Contents, specify the condition as a maximum of 150 characters.
   - For Alert ID, set a string of 6 characters including 0x at the beginning or a string of 4 characters without the 0x.

   The detail area displays the alert log. Clicking a column title sorts the notification alerts in ascending order of that column's entries.
