Editing Event Group Filter Properties
Perform the following steps to edit event group filter properties:
- In the Event Console Configuration view, expand Event Console Configuration.
- Expand Event Groups. Currently defined event
groups are displayed.
- Click the event group containing the filter to edit and then click the filter to edit.
- To display the pop-up menu, right-click the filter.
- From the pop-up menu, select Properties.
The Edit dialog box is displayed. At this point, you can optionally edit
the name and description for the filter.
- To add new filter criteria using the Constraint Editor, click the
Add Constraint button. To edit existing filter criteria using the Constraint Editor,
select the constraint to edit; then, click the Edit button.
The Constraint Editor is displayed.
- As you complete each constraint for a filter, the SQL section of the Event Group Filter Properties
dialog box displays the updated WHERE clause.
You can toggle displaying the SQL dialog box by clicking the up or down arrow keys located in the bottom
pane of the Event Group Filter Properties dialog box.
- To create additional constraints from the Event Group Filter Properties dialog box, click
the Add Constraint button to use the Constraint Editor again.
- To add filter criteria by manually entering WHERE clause syntax, click the
Add SQL button. This launches a dialog where you can enter WHERE
clause syntax. The WHERE keyword is implied and should not be entered.
- To test the correctness of the WHERE clause created from your filter criteria,
click the Test SQL button. You should always check your SQL using the Test
SQL button to reduce the risk of possible syntax errors when using free-form SQL
entry.
- To save the current filter and clear all the fields to create another filter for the same event group,
click the OK button. To specify a new filter, perform steps 5 through 9 again.
- When complete, click the OK button to save your changes and close the dialog box.
