Filter browser messages

The messages that appear in your active messages browser are received from the nodes managed by the management server, as configured by your administrator. However, by setting filters you can further customize this display to show only those messages that match the criteria you set.

Messages can be filtered by one or more of these criteria:

• Message text: Filter messages containing specific text.
• Severity: Filter messages of the selected severity.
• Ownership: Filter messages of various ownership.
• Unmatched: Filter messages that either do or do not match any of the message conditions or suppressed conditions defined in the policies deployed on the managed nodes.
• Time: Filter messages created at particular dates and times.
• Message attributes: Filter messages on the application, object, or message group message attribute.
• Message source: Filter messages of the selected service, node, or node group.
• Custom message attribute (CMA): Filter messages on custom message attributes.

Because you can select multiple properties for a filter, you can create a filter to display just those messages that matter most to you. For example, you could create a filter that would display only messages from a particular service on a particular node, created between specified dates and times.

There are two types of filters:

• Public filters: Public filters are available to all users, but only HPOM administrators can create, modify, save, and delete them.
• Private filters: Any user can create, modify, save, and delete private filters for their own, personal use, if they have been granted the right to do so.
