How do I create an advanced alarms filter?

Purpose

You can create and save an advanced search filter. Advanced search filters are more detailed than simple search filters. After applying an advanced filter, you can further refine the results using quick filters and save the refinements to a new filter.

Steps
 
1 

In the Network Map And Health, Current Alarms view click on the Filter png15.png button to open the advanced filter configuration form.

2 

Enter a filter name and description, and specify whether you want the filter to be public or private. Multiple filter properties in an advanced search filter are combined using Boolean operators.

3 

Choose a Boolean operation from the drop-down list:

  • AND - When you combine properties using the AND operator, the search returns objects that meet both or all of the specified criteria

  • OR - When you combine properties using the OR operator, the search returns objects that meet at least one of the specified criteria

  • NOT - When a filter property is preceded by the NOT operator, items that meet the criteria in that filter property are excluded from the results

4 

Choose an alarm attribute from the drop-down list, choose a search function, such as equals, between, or is not null, for example, and then choose or enter a value. You can click on the + or - button to add or remove clauses. Click on the +{} button to add sub-clauses.

5 

To share the filter with other users, enable the Public option.

6 

Click Apply or Save Filter. Advanced search filters that you save appear in the Saved Filters list.
