How You Use the User-defined Keyword

The keyword is used by status monitor filters to determine whether to display the status of a resource on the basis of the processed message.

For example, you may want to suppress the display of a resource on the status monitor when a particular message is detected. To do this, specify a keyword in the rule for that message and use the keyword as a criterion in a status monitor filter to not display the resource. When an operator uses the filter to view the resources on the status monitor, the resource is normally displayed on the monitor. However, if a message arrives and satisfies this message rule, the resource disappears from the monitor because the keyword in the filter tells the monitor not to display the resource.
