# 8. Graphical interface options

Figure 2 shows what LogIDS would look like if loaded with the configuration supplied in this document. The graphical interface still sports very few features, but since it is an integral part of LogIDS, I wanted to have a section to cover it specifically. The interface menu have only two subsections for version 1.0. The first subsection, File, will lead you to Quit. You can also quit LogIDS by hitting the [CTRL-C] key combination with the focus being on the LogIDS text console (shown in Figure 3.). The other submenu section is Clear..., which leads to options Icons, Textfields or Clear all. Clear... Icons will reset the icons for the various network items to their original state, in case you want to reset alert icons that your rules may display. Clear... Textfields will clear the content of the textfields in the graphical interface. Clear... Clear all will perform both of these actions at the same time. Note that you don't have to save any file, since your logs are being treated from the directory \Log, and are being forwarded in the \Backup folder (LogIDS automatically flushes \Log logfiles when the content exceeds 50 lines, in order to maintain optimal performance. The flushed data is appended into the \Backup directory for future reference or use, residual logs may also be left in \Log).
