Select Use of Federated Queries

You can select whether you want to execute queries on federated data. If you plan to use more than one CA Enterprise Log Manager server in a federated network, you may want to select the Use Federated Queries check box. This option enables you to gather event data for reporting from all of the CA Enterprise Log Manager servers that are federated to (acting as children of) this CA Enterprise Log Manager server.

You may also choose to turn off federated queries for a specific query, if you want to see data from only the current CA Enterprise Log Manager server.

To set use of federated queries

1. Log into the CA Enterprise Log Manager server.
2. Click the Show/Edit Global Filters button.

   The button is located to the right of the current CA Enterprise Log Manager server name and just above the main tabs.

3. Click the Settings tab.
4. Choose whether you want to use federated queries.

   If you do turn off the select federated queries option, reports that you view will not contain event data from any servers that you have configured as children of this server.
