Filtering Events By Content - 3Com WX1200 Reference Manual

Filtering Events by
Content
When using the predefined filters, you can limit the events you see in
Event tab by specifying criteria such as IP address, date, or text in the log
message. You can use advanced filters to further limit the events you see.
To filter messages by content
1 In the Event Source box, type an event source name or part of an event
source name. You can type more than one name or partial name.
For example, type 3wxm If you want to see only 3wxm events. If you
have a WX named wx1, type wx1 to see only events related to wx1. To
see events related to all WX switches whose names start with wx, type
wx.
To set the search criteria, select one of the following:
contains the string—The filter looks for messages that contain the
entire string you entered.
contains all of the strings—The filter looks for messages that
contain all the strings you entered. Select this option if you enter more
than one string and want to see messages that contain all the strings.
contains at least one of the strings—The filter looks for messages
that contain one or more of the strings you entered. Select this option
if you enter more than one string and want to see messages that
contain any of the strings.
2 In the Message box, type a word or exact phrase used in a message.
For example, if you type vlan, you see all events that contain vlan in the
message.
Set the search criteria by selecting contains the string, contains all of the
strings, or contains at least one of the strings.
3 In the IP Address box, type an IP address or a partial IP address.
For example, if you type 10.20, you see all events that pertain to IP
addresses containing the string 10.20.
Set the search criteria by selecting contains the string, contains all of the
strings, or contains at least one of the strings.
4 In the Date list, select one of the following to filter events by time:
Any—No events are filtered based on time criteria.
Before—Only events that occurred before a specified time.
