Viewing Database Filters

The Database Filters option lists all the filters created so far. The list displays the Filter Name, Filter Type, Host Name and Groups for which the filter has been set up.

 

Note on Database Filters:

 

You can use the database filters, to filter out the unwanted events from your hosts, from getting stored in the database. By this you can save the hard drive space.

For example, if you want to reject/ filter out the events with the Event ID 1001, in the database filters, choose the Event ID: box and enter 1001. If you are not aware of the Event ID(s), kindly uncheck the events that you do not want to get stored. For example, if you do not want the Information type of events, unselect the Information check box. This will reject all the Information type of events for the host(s) that you choose in the database filters wizard.
