Use this page to specify sources of events within the network
that you want to exclude from the event filtering criteria specified
using the Event Type page. That is, you can filter on a specified
group of events, but exclude certain events that meet the criteria
selected on this page. The exclusion filter can also be useful in
identifying the criteria that do not apply, rather than identifying
all of the criteria that do apply.
Note: This page is displayed only when you select the exclusion
event filter.
Fields
- Any
- Specifies whether you want to filter on specific
event types. By default, Any is selected.
You must clear the Any check box to select
one or more specific event types.
- Event types
- Specifies one or more event types to exclude from the event filtering
criteria.
- Exclude IBM® i message
queue events
- Activates the IBM i message
queue event pane.
- IBM i.Message Queue
- Accepts the IBM i message
queue events that you want to exclude from the event filter.
Note: An
IBM i message queue
event has the following format:
OS/400.msgq.library/message_queue.messageID
where
- library is the library for the event monitor
- message_queue is the message queue for the
event monitor
- messageID is the ID of the event monitor
The
IBM i.Message
Queue field automatically provides the common message queue event
prefix
OS/400.msgq. You must type only the unique
portion of the message queue event, for example,
QSYS/QSYSOPR.CPF0907.
Consider the following examples for monitoring
message queue events. In these examples, the library is QSYS and the
message queue is QSYSOPR.- All message IDs that belong to a specific message library and
message queue
- Type QSYS/QSYSOPR in the IBM i.Message Queue field
and click Add.
- A specific message ID that belongs to a specific message library
and queue
- For example, if the message ID is CPF1234, type QSYS/QSYSOPR.CPF1234 in
the IBM i.Message
Queue field and click Add.
- A range of message IDs matching a specific pattern that belong
to specific message library and message queue
- For example, to monitor for all message IDs that start with "CPF12" (all
messages from CPF1200 to CPF12FF), type QSYS/QSYSOPR in
the IBM i.Message
Queue field and click Add. Then, click
the Event Text tab. On the Event Text page,
clear the Any check box and type the message
ID pattern, for example CPF12, in the Event
Text field. Also, make sure Any word is
selected.
Actions
- Add
- Adds the IBM i message
queue events that are specified in the IBM i.Message Queue field
to the list.
- Delete
- Deletes one or more selected IBM i message queue
events from the list.
