Filter rules
4.2Filter rules
The filter rules define the servers or server groups from which you want to filter out alarms (see section "Server filters" on page 55) and/or which alarms are to be filtered out (see section "Filtering alarms" on page 56).
IFilter rules take priority over alarm rules. If a alarm is ignored because of the filter rules, the alarm rule assigned to the alarm is not activated.
4.2.1Server filters
In the Filter Rules – Server Filtering screen, you define the servers or server groups whose alarms you want to filter out. If the Event Manager is running on a server and there are no other servers in the server list, this server is automatically displayed as the local host. No further settings are necessary for this.
The Serverlist box contains all servers and server groups in the server list. The Suppress from handling box contains the servers or server groups whose alarms are not to be handled.
You can filter the servers with the following buttons:
>
The alarms from the selected servers or server groups are ignored.
<
The alarms from the selected servers or server groups are forwarded.
>>
All alarms from the servers or server groups in the server list are ignored.
<<
All alarms from the servers or server groups in the Suppress from handling box are handled again. All incoming alarms from the servers or server groups in the server list are forwarded.
If you select a server in the Serverlist window, you can display additional information about this server via Show Information about Server on the context menu.
Clicking the Apply button saves the new settings. Clicking the Reset button restores the settings from the last save.
