Priority filter
Previous  Top  Next


Overview
Allows the selection of priority values to be matched against the incoming message priority.



Details
Each incoming message contains a Priority value. This value is made up of a Facility and Level. You can specify which priorities will cause the filter result to be true.


To select a priority, double click the grid cross referenced by Facility and Level. A green tick indicates a match on that priority will cause the filter result to be true.

Use the mouse to select columns or rows, and then right click to show the popup options menu.

Setting a green tick in all of the priority values ensures a match will occur no matter what the message priority value. If you want to match all priority values it is not necessary to use a filter at all. The absence of a priority filter means that all priorities are passed anyway.

Inverse will invert all the currently enabled boxes to become blank and visa versa. (Inversing the enabled boxes will essentially create an exclusion filter.)

Use the Select All menu to select every priority, then use Toggle to OFF or ON to toggle the green ticks.


Examples:

kiwi_priority_02

The filter above reads as:

Any message with a Level of Warning or higher on any Facility will cause the result to be true.


kiwi_priority_03


The filter above reads as:

Any message with a Facility of User on any Level will cause the result to be true.


kiwi_priority_04

The filter above is an example of an exclusion filter and reads as:

Any message with a Facility that is NOT User on any Level will cause the result to be true.
