5.2.7.4 Filtering Using the Display Filter

Use this procedure to perform a filtering operation. This procedure assumes you have a data table displayed on your screen with the Display Filter field. This process is the same for all data tables. However, all filtering operations are not available for all tables.

Note:

Display Filter does not support compound filtering. For example, you cannot filter on both severity and a server name. Try to filter on a single filter criteria, such as the server hostname for server-scoped metric cells; or the application name for St- and NE-scoped metric cells. You can also sort by congestion level (descending) to help improve your filter.

1. Click Filter in the optional layout element toolbar.
2. Select a field name from the Display Filter list.
   This selection specifies the field in the table that you want to filter on. The default is None, which indicates that you want all available data displayed.
3. Select an operator from the operation selector list.
4. Enter a value in the value field.
   This value specifies the data that you want to filter on. For example, if you specify Filter=Severity with the equals (=) operator and a value of MINOR, the table would show only records where Severity=MINOR.
5. Click Go to filter on the selection, or click Reset to clear the selection.

Records are displayed according to the specified criteria.

Note:

PCA was known as PDRA and may still be seen in some filtering.
