11.5.3 Global Filters

Global filters are classified as Public filters. Global filters are sequentially processed at the Collector
Manager for each event. Once the global filter criteria are met, the evaluation stops for that event
and the associated global filter action is taken for the event.
The order of evaluation of global filters is top to bottom, as shown in the console. They can be
enabled or disabled as required. Global Filters enable routing actions and JavaScript actions on
events. Routing actions include dropping events or routing events to database, database and GUI
(SCC), or only to GUI (SCC).
