Filtering Events

In large organizations, with many events, it is common to have operators monitor a subset of these events. To allow the user to just see the objects he is interested in, Redwood Server features filters and IntelliSearch. Default filters are already available:

• All events
• Raised and Cleared

You can also define his own filters using a subset of the conditions listed below. Each condition can have one or more values. For each value entered conditions can be used to show or hide specific events.

The following conditions can be used to create customized event filters:

• Where the event has Status
• Where the event Name starts with prefix
• Where the event Raise Date is after some time Ago
• Where the event Raise Date is after date
• Where the event was Raised by Process
• Where the event was Waited for by process
• Where the event definition belongs to the Application
• Where the event belongs to Application containing specific keywords
• Where the event was modified manually
• Where the event is part of the system
• Extend filter with user-defined SQL

You can use the ANSI SQL92 standard where-clause syntax, for user defined SQL.The available columns are listed in the Event Filter Columns section.

Example

RaiserUniqueId = 82171
