Creating event filters

This topic describes how to create event filters. An event filter processes only the events that are specified by the filter and ignores all other events.

Complete the following steps to create event filters:

  1. In IBM Director Console, click Tasks > Event Action Plan Builder.
  2. In the Event Action Plan Builder window, double-click an event filter type in the Event Filters pane.
    註: Alternatively, you can create an event filter for an event that has already occurred. In the IBM Director Tasks pane, double-click the Event Log task. In the Events pane, right-click an event; then, click Create and select one of the four event filter types.
  3. In the Event Filter Builder window, complete the applicable fields for the event filter that you want to create. By default, the Any check box is selected for all filtering categories, indicating that no filtering criteria apply. Depending on the event filter type that you selected, the Event Filter Builder window contains different pages.
  4. Click File > Save As.
  5. In the Save Event Filter window, type a name for the filter. When you are naming an event filter, the name should indicate the type of events for which the filter is targeted and any special options that you have configured for the filter, including the time the filter is active and event severity. For example, an event filter for unrecoverable storage events that occur on a weekend should be named to reflect that.
  6. Click OK to save the filter. The new filter is displayed in the Event Filters pane under the applicable filter type.
  7. 選擇性的: Create additional event filters for use in a single event action plan. Repeat step 1 through step 6.
  8. In the Event Filters pane, drag the event filter onto the event action plan in the Event Action Plans pane. The event filter is displayed under the event action plan.
  9. If you have created additional event filters that you want to use in this event action plan, repeat step 8.
When the event filter is completed, customize the event actions.
