This topic describes the Event Filter Builder window: Extended Attributes page in IBM Director.
This category can be particularly useful for narrowing the filtering criteria to a lower level of detail, for example, to isolate one or more values originating from a specific system.
You can also view the extended attributes of a specific event by opening the Event Log task in the Tasks pane of the IBM Director Console and selecting an appropriate event from the list. The event's extended attributes, if present, are displayed at the bottom of the Event Details panel, below the Sender Name category.
Because event types are hierarchical, an event with a particular event type has its associated extended attributes as well as the extended attributes of its parent event types. For example, the event type Director.Topology.Offline has extended attributes for Director.Topology.Offline and Director.Topology.
You can specify keywords and values in Extended Attributes only if one event type is selected. If the current event type is set to Any, Extended Attributes is disabled. Extended Attributes is also disabled if multiple event types are selected. If the Extended Attributes page is enabled for a specific event type, but no keywords are listed, the IBM Director Server is not aware of any keywords that can be used for filtering.
AND
If you want to enter multiple values for a single keyword, use the Add key each time you want to add a value.
Boolean OR is used to determine whether an event's extended attributes meet the filtering criteria for multiple values of a single keyword.
If you enter more than one keyword/value pair, Boolean AND is used to determine whether an event's extended attributes meet the filtering criteria (all keyword values must be true).
