Event Filter Builder window: Day/Time page

This topic describes the Event Filter Builder window: Day/Time page in IBM Director.

Explanation

Enables you to specify day and time ranges for a filter. Specifying a day and time range in a filter adds control over when actions are run and, therefore, not run.

Use the pull-down menus to select values in each category, and then click the Add button when you finish your selections. Your settings are added to the selections pane.

You can create as many day/time range entries as you like. Each time you create a day/time range entry, click Add to add the entry to the list in the selections pane.

To remove any entry from the selections pane, click on the entry, and then click the Delete button.

The time zone that applies to the day/time filtering entries is the time zone in which the IBM Director Server is located. If your console is not in the same time zone as the server, the difference in time zones is shown above the selections pane.

For example, if the IBM Director Server is located in New York, and your console is located in California, the time zones displayed and used are Eastern Standard Time (EST), and the following is displayed above the selections pane: Server Time - Local Time = 3 Hours

Fields

Day of the Week
Use the pull-down menu to select the day of the week to which this filter is to apply. Weekday (Monday - Friday) and weekend (Saturday & Sunday) selections are available.
Starting Time
Use the pull-down menu to select the starting time of an interval within which this filter is active. If 12:00 AM is selected as the start time, it is treated as the beginning of the current day.
Ending Time
Use the pull-down menu to select the ending time of an interval within which this filter is active. If 12:00 AM is selected as an ending time, it is treated as the beginning of the next day to include all events through the end of the current day
Add
Adds your day and time selections to the list in the selections pane. You can add multiple day/time entries to the list.
Delete
Deletes a day/time entry from the list of entries in the selections pane. To delete an entry, select it, and then click this button.
Block queued events
Select this check box to avoid filtering on events that had to be queued for transmission to the IBM Director Server. Multiple events can be queued for transmission to the IBM Director Server if the managed system for which the event was generated cannot send the event at the time of its occurrence. This option can be useful if the timing of the event is important, or if you want to avoid filtering on multiple queued events that are sent all at once when the IBM Director Server becomes accessible.
