Assigning an event filter to a Call Home center

Event filters allow Call Home center users to log in to a Management server and assign specific event filters to the devices. This limits the number of unnecessary or “acknowledge” events and improves the performance and effectiveness of the Call Home center.

You can only select one event filter at a time; however, you can assign the same event filter to multiple devices or Call Home centers. When you assign an event filter to a Call Home center, the event filter is assigned to all devices in the Call Home center. For more information about Call Home events, refer to Appendix B, “Call Home Event Tables”.
