Using Monitors › Change to a Different Monitor Filter

Change to a Different Monitor Filter

Authorized users can create filters to define which resources are displayed. Filters are sets of rules stored in the knowledge base that enable you to display a subset of the monitored resources.

The resources you see the first time you access the monitor depends on the filter specified in your user profile. If no filter is specified, you see all of the resources for the selected monitor.

You can change your view of displayed resources by using a temporary filter. The filter that you select remains valid for the current monitor session only.

To select a filter and change the view of displayed resources

1. Enter one of the following commands at the command prompt of the monitor:
   • FILTER

     Enter this command to display a list of the available filters. Enter the number that identifies the filter you want to use. Only the resources that match the filter are displayed.

   • FILTER filter-name

     Enter the name of the filter that you want to use. Only the resources that match the filter are displayed.

   • FILTER NONE

     This command removes any filtering. You now see every resource for the systems to which you are connected.

     The resources, as specified in the filter, appear.

Notes:

• If authorized, you can enter F on the Automation Services Administration Menu to select the Status Monitor Filters option to create and maintain monitor filters. You can also use the /ASADMIN.F path to select the Status Monitor Filters option.
• If you updated the current filter, you need to enter the REFILTER command to make the updates effective in the current session.
