Events View - Text Tab
The Text tab is in the Event Details panel. Here you can safely view and analyze the raw text payload of an event. The Text reconstruction includes features that can show decompressed or compressed text, expand truncated entries, perform URL and Base64 encoding and decoding, and download network events, logs, and endpoint events. The text reconstruction is available for all types of events: network, log, and endpoint.

Quick Look
The Events view displays the text of a single event in the Text panel (formerly known as Text Analysis). When you click an event in the Event list panel, the adjacent panel shows the text reconstruction. Only the raw log for log events and endpoint events is shown in the Text panel. For network events, the direction of the packet (Request or Response) and contents of each packet are provided in text format. For more examples of the Text, see Reconstructing and Analyzing Events. For detailed procedures, see Analyze Events in the Events View.
