configure log filter events
configure log filter <name> [add | delete] {exclude} events [<event-
condition> | [all | <event-component>] {severity <severity> {only}}]
Description
Configures a log filter to add or delete detailed feature messages based on a specified set of events.
Syntax Description
Default
If the
exclude
keyword is not used, the events will be included by the filter. If
severity
is not
specified, then the filter will use the component default severity threshold (see the note
on page 574
when
delete
or
exclude
is specified).
Usage Guidelines
This command controls the incidents that pass a filter by adding, or deleting, a specified set of events. If
you want to configure a filter to include or exclude incidents based on event parameter values (for
example, MAC address or BGP Neighbor) see the command
configure log filter events match
on page 576
.
When the
add
keyword is used, the specified event name is added to the beginning of the filter item list
maintained for this filter. The new filter item either includes the events specified, or if the
exclude
keyword is present, excludes the events specified.
The
delete
keyword is used to remove events from the filter item list that were previously added using
the add command. All filter items currently in the filter item list that are identical to, or a subset of, the
set of events specified in the delete command will be removed.
Event Filtering Process.
From a logical standpoint, the filter associated with each enabled log target is
examined to determine whether a message should be logged to that particular target. The determination
is made for a given filter by comparing the incident with the most recently configured filter item first. If
the incident matches this filter item, the incident is either included or excluded, depending on whether
