> #### Refreshing log file data

> Periodically refresh log file data. Select the Refresh page icon from the status bar for either the list or detail frame to repaint an existing page. You can also set a default value that Fathom uses to automatically refresh the management console.

> To set a default value that Fathom uses to automatically refresh the management console, select Options User Preferences Automatically Refresh Pages.

> Refresh data to avoid the following situations:

> - Fathom considers a viewer that has been inactive for more than four hours "stale." Once a viewer becomes stale, Fathom releases ninety-five percent of any memory it holds. If you try to use a stale viewer, Fathom automatically reloads the file. Because additional resource activity might have occurred during the viewer's inactivity, the reloaded log file view might not match the previous log file view of that resource.
> - Fathom considers a viewer that has been inactive for forty-eight hours "dead." Once a viewer dies, Fathom releases all of its memory. To return to the log file displayed in a dead view, you need to renavigate to it, even if you pinned up the view or saved a link to it before the viewer died.
