Event Filter Builder window: Event Type page

Use this page to specify the type of events as a filtering criterion.

Fields

Any
Specifies whether you want to filter on specific event types. By default, the Any check box is selected, meaning that none of the events that are listed are filtered, except for Windows-specific and IBM® i-specific events. You must clear the Any check box to select one or more specific event types.
Event types
Specifies one or more event types on which to filter. You can select more than one event by pressing the Ctrl or Shift key. The Event Type tree is created dynamically; and entries are added by tasks and as new events are received. Entries in the tree can be expanded to display suboption events.
Notes: When you select a root option in the Event Type tree, all suboption events are selected as well. For example, when you select Director in the Event Type tree, all of the collections of events under Director are selected also.

If additional event types are published after you create the event filter, the newly available event types are included in your event filter only if the new event types are suboption events of an event type that you selected. However, if you want to include a newly published event type that is not a suboption event, you must update your event filter by selecting the new event type.
