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
IBM Systems Director program in
the Event Type tree, all of the
collections of events
under IBM Systems Director program 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.
- Include 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 include in 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.
