Change Filter

Authorized users can create filters to define which resources are displayed on the NCP monitor. 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 NCP monitor depend 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 status 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 on the NCP monitor.

    FILTER filter-name

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

    FILTER NONE

    This command removes any filtering.

    The resources, as specified in the filter, appear.
