3.Create Filter and FilterCache statements to match the specific events that you want cached.

v To discard specific events:

1.Set FilterMode to OUT.

2.Create Filter and FilterCache statements to match the specific events that you want discarded.

vTo cache all events (the default behavior):

1.Set FilterMode to OUT.

2.Set BufferEvents to YES.

3.Do not specify any FilterCache statements.

Note: All events are discarded when the configuration is as follows:

1.FilterMode is set to IN.

2.No FilterCache statements are specified.

Event Buffer Filter Examples: The following table shows some event buffer filter examples for a few different adapters:

Adapter	Example
AS/400 Alert	The following entry matches all events of the
	SNA_Equipment_Malfunction class from the origin 1.2.3.4:
	FilterCache:Class=SNA_Equipment_Malfunction;origin=1.2.3.4
UNIX Log	The following entry matches all events of the Su_Success class from the
File	origin 126.32.2.14:
	FilterCache:Class=Su_Success;origin=126.32.2.14
OpenView	The following entry matches all events of the OV_Message class from the
	origin 126.32.2.14:
	FilterCache:Class=OV_Message;origin=126.32.2.14
Windows NT	The following entry matches all events of the NT_Power_Failure class from
	the origin 126.32.2.14:
	FilterCache:Class=NT_Power_Failure;origin=126.32.2.14

BAROC File

Each adapter comes with a BAROC file describing the classes of events the adapter supports. This file is not used by the adapter itself, but serves as a mandatory link between the adapter and the event server. The event server must load this file before it is able to understand events received from the adapter. A BAROC file has an extension of .baroc; see each specific adapter chapter for exact file names. The format of a BAROC file is described in the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console Rule Builder’s Guide.

Example

The following fragment shows how an event class for reporting SNMP authentication problems could be defined in a BAROC file:

CLASS AUTHENTICATION_FAILURE ISA EVENT DEFINES {

source:default="SNMP"; sub_source:default="NET"; auth_source:STRING;

};
