Use this page to qualify the filtering criteria
using additional keywords and keyword values that can be associated
with some events, such as many Managed Resource events.
These additional keywords and corresponding values are referred to
as the event's extended attributes. Extended attributes can be particularly useful
for narrowing the filtering criteria to a lower level of detail, for
example, to isolate one or more values originating from a specific
system.
You
cannot specify keywords
and values on the Extended Attributes page in the following situations:
- If you have selected multiple event types or if the Any check
box is selected on the Event Type page, the Extended Attributes page
is disabled. You must select only one event type to specify extended
attributes.
- If the Extended Attributes page is enabled for a specific event
type but no keywords are listed, IBM® Systems Director Server is not
aware of any keywords that can be used for filtering.
When you specify extended attributes
for filtering, an event must meet the following filtering criteria:
- If you select multiple keywords, all values received must match
all values of all selected keywords (Boolean AND).
- If you specify multiple values for a single keyword, the values
received must match at least one of the values specified for the keyword
(Boolean OR).
Because event types are hierarchical, an event has its extended
attributes as well as the extended attributes of its parent event
types. For example, the event type Director>Topology>Offline has extended
attributes for Director>Topology>Offline and Director>Topology.
Note: To determine what extended attributes an event
provides, see the documentation for that specific event in "Events."
Fields
- Any
- Specifies whether you want to filter on specific
extended attributes. By default, Any is
selected. You must clear the Any check box
to select specific keyword and value pairs.
- Keywords
- Specifies the keywords on which you want to filter. If no keywords
are listed, IBM Systems Director Server has
not been made aware of or has not published the keywords for the selected
event category. You can select multiple keywords.
- Values
- Specifies a value for the keyword on which you want to filter.
You can specify multiple values, but you cannot specify a range of
values.
If you want to enter multiple
values for a single keyword, click Add each
time you want to add a value. The Boolean OR operator is used to determine
whether an event's extended attributes meet the filtering criteria
for multiple values of a single keyword. If you enter more than one
keyword and value pair, the Boolean AND operator is used to determine
whether an event's extended attributes meet the filtering criteria,
that is, all keyword values must be true.
- Case sensitive
- Select this option if you want the specified keyword value to
be filtered as case sensitive.
Actions
- Update
- Changes the value of a selected keyword and value pair. Use this
procedure:
- Select a keyword and value pair.
- Select Values to change the corresponding
value.
- Click Update to make the change take effect.
- Delete
- Deletes a selected keyword and value pair as a selection criterion.
