Trace Filter File

This optional file contains entries that specify filter masks for filtering out CA ControlMinder trace messages of any kind.

The trace filter file specifies the trace messages that are to be filtered out (that is, those messages that are not to appear in the trace file). Each line specifies a mask that identifies a group of messages to be suppressed. For example, the following file suppresses all messages that begin with WATCHDOG or INFO and all messages that end with BYPASS.

WATCHDOG*
*BYPASS
INFO*

By default, CA ControlMinder uses a trace filter file named trcfilter.init. You can change the name and location of the trace filter file by editing the value of the trace_filter token in the [seosd] section of the seos.ini file.

To filter trace records, edit the file as required. To add remarks (comment lines) to the file, place a semicolon (;) at the beginning of the line.

The trcfilter.init file does not filter audit records generated by user traces. To filter these audit records, edit the audit.cfg file.

Note: For more information, see the seosd utility in the Reference Guide.
