Log Filter Commands
filter
Syntax [ no ] filter filter-id
Context config>log
Description
This command creates a context for an event filter. An event filter specifies whether to forward or
drop an event or trap based on the match criteria.
Filters are configured in the filter filter-id context and then applied to a log in the log-id log-id
context. Only events for the configured log source streams destined to the log ID where the filter is
applied are filtered.
Any changes made to an existing filter, using any of the sub-commands, are immediately applied to
the destinations where the filter is applied.
The no form of the command removes the filter association from log IDs which causes those logs to
forward all events.
Default No event filters are defined.
Parameters filter-id — The filter ID uniquely identifies the filter.
Values 1 — 1000
default-action
Syntax default-action { drop | forward }
no default-action
Context config>log>filter filter-id
Description The default action specifies the action that is applied to events when no action is specified in the event
filter entries or when an event does not match the specified criteria.
When multiple default-action commands are entered, the last command overwrites the previous
command.
The no form of the command reverts the default action to the default value (forward).
Default default-action forward — The events which are not explicitly dropped by an event filter match are
forwarded.
Parameters drop — The events which are not explicitly forwarded by an event filter match are dropped.
forward — The events which are not explicitly dropped by an event filter match are forwarded.
