On applying a color filter, all the event tables are updated.
Color Filter Configuration
Figure 11-6
The Color Filter Configuration GUI displays a listing of all the color filters that are defined in the
order in which they should be applied. If an event meets the criteria for more than one of the color
filters, the topmost color filter configuration will be applied. For example, the following filter
configurations are created and attached to color filter configuration:
Color filter configuration 1: sev=2 (with background color red and text color yellow)

Color filter configuration 2: sev>1 (with background color white and text color black)

Any event with severity=2 will meet the criteria for both color filters, but since the sev=2 color filter
configuration is at the top, all the events with sev=2 will be coded as per color filter configuration 1.
All the other events with sev>1 (For example, sev=3, 4, 5 and so on) will follow color filter
configuration 2.
