With Log Viewer, users can also open more than one file at the same time and merge their information as if they were a single file. Events are sorted chronologically, which allows an analysis of cause and consequence events among different machines or different files. In this example, events from two files are merged.
1.Click Merge Event Files 
on the toolbar or use the File - Merge Event Files menu to open the window on the next figure.

Another option is selecting a file from the Opened Log Files node, right-clicking it, and then selecting the Merge File option. That file is automatically added to the Merged Log Files node.
The status bar informs the total number of events of all files opened as a set. These files are on the left area, below Merged Log Files. If the whole node is selected, events from all files of this node are viewed. However, when selecting each file individually, only its own events are displayed.
