Event Filter Builder window: Day and Time page

Use this page to specify day and time ranges as a filter criterion. Specifying a day and time range in a filter controls the time that actions are run and, therefore, not run.

The time zone that applies to this filtering criteria is the time zone in which the server running IBM® Systems Director Server is located. If your browser system is not in the same time zone as the management server, the difference in time zones is displayed above the selections pane. For example, if the management server is located in New York and your browser system is located in California, the time zone displayed and used is Eastern Standard Time (EST). The following information is displayed above the selections pane: Server Time - Local Time = 3 Hours

Fields

Any
Specifies whether you want to filter on specific day and time ranges. By default, Any is selected. You must clear the Any check box to select one or more specific days, start times, or end times.
Day of the week
Specifies the day of the week to which this filter is to apply. Weekday (Monday - Friday) and weekend (Saturday & Sunday) selections are available.
Starting time
Specifies the starting time of an interval within which this filter is active. If 12:00 AM is selected as the start time, it is treated as the beginning of the current day.
Ending time
Specifies the ending time of an interval within which this filter is active. If 12:00 AM is selected as an ending time, it is treated as the beginning of the next day to include all events through the end of the current day.
Block queued events
Specifies that you do not want to filter on events that were queued for transmission to IBM Systems Director Server. Common Agent can queue events for transmission to IBM Systems Director Server if the link between the system and the management server was unavailable. However, you can prevent these queued events from being processed by the filter by selecting Block queued events. This option can be useful if the timing of the event is important, or if you want to avoid filtering on multiple queued events that are sent all at once when IBM Systems Director Server becomes accessible.

Actions

Add
Adds your day and time selections to the list in the selections pane. You can add multiple day and time entries to the list.

Deletes a day and time entry from the list of entries in the selections pane.
