Specifying Filters for Monitoring

You can control the amount of information that HPjmeter provides during a live session by filtering out classes using the Filters tab of the Session Preferences dialog box.

Filters may be inclusive or exclusive, but not both:

•Inclusive filters include only the specified classes in a filter set.

•Exclusive filters remove all classes that are listed in a filter set.

You can add new filters or edit existing filters as desired.

•To begin editing an existing filter, double-click the desired filter listed on the Filters tab.

•To add a new filter, click Add Filter Set.

•To reset the selections to the original settings, click the Restore Defaults button.
