HP Operations Manager for Windows

Set field separators


In this box, you can indicate which characters should be considered to be field separators. Field separators are used in the message text pattern as separator characters for the rule condition. You can define up to seven separators, including these special characters:
  • \n new line (NL)
  • \t horizontal tab (HT)
  • \v vertical tab (VT)
  • \b backspace (BS)
  • \r carriage return (CR)
  • \f form feed (FF)
  • \a alert (BEL)
  • \\ backslash (\)
For example, if you wanted a backslash, an asterisk, and the letter A to define the fields in the message text, you would type \\*A (with no spaces separating the characters).

If you leave this box empty, the default separators (a blank and the tab character) are used by default.

Set field separators

  1. Right-click the policy and select All Tasks Edit...
  2. Select Options.
  3. Type the character that you want to use in the Field Separators box.
  4. The setting applies to all new rules in a policy. Click Apply to all to apply it to all existing rules in a policy.

Note NOTE:
You can indicate the separator characters for individual rules in a policy by selecting the button in the Condition tab of a rule.
