Event Filter Builder window: Excluded Event Type page

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.
