Viewing the packet history

   tip

   This widget supports live updates with auto-refresh every 10 seconds, removing the need for manual refresh. To avoid disturbing the display when the user unfolds a row for details, the live update is paused if any row is expanded; then it gets automatically resumed once all the rows are collapsed.

3. In the UL/DL column, you can see a graphical representation of the packet type. Hover your mouse on each badge to get more details on the displayed value. To learn more, see Analyzing cellular traffic.

4. You may select which columns are displayed or hidden, by clicking the button at the top-right of the widget. You can also export it by clicking .

5. To view more packets than the last 10 packets displayed in this widget, click SHOW ALL at the bottom of the widget.

   -> This takes you to the Wireless Logger application to view the entire traffic history and get additional details.
