Syslog Exclusion Filter

Filters allow you to fine-tune what information is displayed in Reports. Filters allow you to narrow search results and view subsets of report data.

Use this screen to manage the volume of syslog uploaded to the reporting database. The factory default filters are configured to upload only the syslog needed to generate the reports. This can be fine tuned further, but it required advanced knowledge of the syslog and consequently should be completed by experts only. Adding a wrong filter could lead to receiving a “No Matching Records Found” message.
