configure log filter events
configure log filter <filter name> [add | delete] {exclude} events [<event
condition> | [all | <event component>] {severity <severity> {only}}]
Description
Configures a log filter by adding or deleting a specified set of events.
Syntax Description
Default
If the
exclude
keyword is not used, the events will be included by the filter. If
severity
is not
specified, then the filter uses the default severity threshold for the component (see the note on page 684
when
delete
or
exclude
is specified).
Usage Guidelines
This command controls the incidents that pass a filter by adding or deleting a specified set of events. If
you want to configure a filter to include or exclude incidents based on event parameter values (for
example, MAC address or BGP Neighbor) see the command
configure log filter events match
on page 686.
When the
add
keyword is used, the specified event name, or set of events described by component and
severity value, is added to the beginning of the filter item list maintained for this filter. The new filter
item either includes the events specified or, if the
exclude
keyword is present, excludes the events
specified.
The
delete
keyword is used to remove events from the filter item list that were previously added using
the
add
command. All filter items currently in the filter item list that are identical to, or a subset of, the
set of events specified in the
delete
command will be removed.
Event Filtering Process.
From a logical standpoint, the filter associated with each enabled log target
is examined to determine whether a message should be logged to that particular target. The
determination is made for a given filter by comparing the incident with the most recently configured
filter item first. If the incident matches this filter item, the incident is either included or excluded,
depending on whether the
exclude
keyword was used. Subsequent filter items on the list are compared
if necessary. If the list of filter items has been exhausted with no match, the incident is excluded.
