HP Manager Software manual Filtering Events by Content, To filter messages by content

Accessing the Event Log 413

You now see the log entries in Event tab that match the criteria of the filter that you chose.

To monitor event messages for a WX switch in the network plan, the switch must be in the list of monitored switches configured on the monitoring service. In addition, the log monitoring option must be enabled on the service. (See “Changing 3WXM Services Preferences” on page 479.)

Filtering Events by Content

When using the predefined filters, you can limit the events you see in Event tab by specifying criteria such as IP address, date, or text in the log message. You can use advanced filters to further limit the events you see.

To filter messages by content:

1In the Event Source box, type an event source name or part of an event source name. You can type more than one name or partial name.

For example, type 3WXM if you want to see only 3WXM events. If you have a WX named wx1, type wx1 to see only events related to wx1. To see events related to all WX switches whose names start with wx, type wx.

To set the search criteria, select one of the following:

„contains the string — The filter looks for messages that contain the entire string you entered.

„contains all of the strings — The filter looks for messages that contain all the strings you entered. Select this option if you enter more than one string and want to see messages that contain all the strings.

„contains at least one of the strings — The filter looks for messages that contain one or more of the strings you entered. Select this option if you enter more than one string and want to see messages that contain any of the strings.

2In the Message box, type a word or exact phrase used in a message.

For example, if you type vlan, you see all events that contain vlan in the message.

Set the search criteria by selecting contains the string, contains all of the strings, or contains at least one of the strings.
