5 To filter the event sources by name, type a name value in the filter text box, then click Filter .
Matching value is case insensitive. The name value may contain wildcard characters. Use
*
to
match zero or more characters and use
?
to match one character. If no wildcard characters are
specified in the name value, it is assumed that the name value is intended to mean
contains
<name value>
, or
*<name value>*
.
For example, an event source value of
abc
is interpreted as
*abc*
. Below are some common
filter type examples:
Š
If the event source name starts with
abc
. Enter the filter value as
abc*
.
Š
If the event source name ends with
abc
. Enter the filter value as
*abc.
Š
If the event source name contains the
abc
. Enter the filter value as abc or
*abc*.
The Event source table displays the list of event sources whose name matches the value entered
in the filter input box.
Collector Plugin Specifies the collector plug-in name the event source is connected to.
NOTE: This is the name of the collector plug-in, not the name of the collector
instance.
You can sort the event sources based on collector plug-in name.
Drop Specifies whether data from the associated event source should be dropped or
not.
YES: If Drop Data is set to YES, all data received from the event source is
dropped. This means that the raw data will not be saved and events will not be
generated.
NO: If Drop Data is set to NO, all raw data from the event source is saved and
events are generated. When set to NO, raw data is always saved, regardless of
whether a filter is set on the event source using the Event Source Management
user interface. However, if a filter is set, events may not get generated if the
filter causes the data to be ignored.
You can sort the event sources based on the drop data status.
Create Date Specifies the date and time when the event source was created.
You can sort the event sources based on when they were created.
EPS Specifies the events per second value received from the event source. You can
sort the event sources based on their events per second value.
NOTE: If you see a value of less than one (<1) in this column, it indicates that
the EPS rate is greater than zero, but less than one.
