4.2 Filter 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).
I Filter 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.
4.2.1 Server 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.
