Apply a filter
When you apply a message filter, the set of messages in the active or acknowledged messages browsers changes to display only those messages that match the criteria you set. In addition, the message browser status line shows the name of the filter that is currently applied.
One filter can be applied to each selected node or service available in the console tree.
