5 In the Filter Selection Window, highlight a relevant filter and click Select, or click Add if you
need to create a filter.
The Expression column displays the selected filter in the RuleLg language.
6 In the Active column, select the checkbox to associate the filter with options specified in the
Route and Action columns.

Default Action will be associated to the filter. If the Default Action is set to None, then no action
will be associated to the filter.

this global filter. If an event does not meet any of the active global filters, then the Default
Routing determines how the event is handled.
The following are the options available in the Route drop-down list:
drop: Events are dropped and are not sent to Sentinel Control Center or the Sentinel

Server database.
database: Events are sent directly to the Sentinel Server database, bypassing the Sentinel

Control Center.
 database and gui: Events are sent to the Sentinel Control Center and Sentinel Server
database.
 gui only: Events are sent to the Sentinel Control Center.
8 In the Action column, select the action that needs to be performed once the filter criteria are
met.
NOTE: To create new actions for the filter, click Action Manager or select Tools > Action
Manager from the menu bar. For more information on creating actions, see
page 379. You can associate single or multiple actions to a filter. By default, the Action and
Default Action are set to None. Global Filters execute only JavaScript actions. Actions that are
associated with global filters cannot be deleted from the Action Manager.
