You can filter out unwanted logs based on log's severity, exporter, facility, date and time, and message content.

NetVizura EventLog has three main types of syslog filters:

  • quick filters: severity and exporters

  • table filters

  • time filters (Time Window)

 

 

NetVizura EventLog - syslog filters

 

 

Quick filters are activated/deactivated by clicking on the corresponding severity in the Severity Table, or clicking on the corresponding exporter in the Exporter table. Inactive severity/exporters are marked with gray color, while active severity/exporters are colored. Logs from inactive exporters and logs with inactive severity levels are not shown in the charts and tables, and are not counted in the on-screen statistics.

Activating/deactivating severity or exporter filters will:

  • update Syslog Table filters for the corresponding exporter or severity level

  • refresh charts and Syslog Table,

  • refresh statistics in the Exporter Table and Severity Table

Note: Filters and data in Syslog Table, Exporter Table, Severity table always match each other.

Figure 10: Using filters in Syslog Table shows Syslog Table and Severity Table, and you can see that the Severity filter in the table matches the active (colored) severity levels in the Severity Table.

Table filters are used to filter syslog messages by log's severity, exporter, facility and message text body. To activate or change a filter simple type the value in the corresponding filter text field and press Enter. This will update the data on all chats and tables.

Note: Multiple filter values are separated by commas.

To filter out the logs based on the time and date, change the Time Window value by clicking on it and (1) choosing a value from the drop menu or (2) selecting from and to dates in the calendar. Updating the Time Window will update the data on all chats and tables.
