ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide

create log filter
create log filter <name> {copy <filter name>}
Description
Creates a log filter with the specified name.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
This command creates a filter with the name specified. A filter is a customizable list of events to include
or exclude, and optional parameter values. The list of events can be configured by component or
subcomponent with optional severity, or individual condition, each with optional parameter values. See
the commands
configure log filter events
and
configure log filter events match
for
details on how to add items to the filter.
The filter can be associated with one or more targets using the
configure log target filter
command to control the messages sent to those targets. The system has one built-in filter named
DefaultFilter
, which itself may be customized. Therefore, the
create log filter
command can be used
if a filter other than
DefaultFilter
is desired. As its name implies,
DefaultFilter
initially contains the
default level of logging in which every ExtremeWare XOS component and subcomponent has a pre-
assigned severity level.
If another filter needs to be created that will be similar to an existing filter, use the
copy
option to
populate the new filter with the configuration of the existing filter. If the
copy
option is not specified,
the new filter will have no events configured and therefore no incidents will pass through it.
The total number of supported filters, including
DefaultFilter
, is 20.
Example
The following command creates the filter named
fdb2
, copying its configuration from the filter
DefaultFilter
:
create log filter fdb2 copy DefaultFilter
name
Specifies the name of the filter to create.
copy
Specifies that the new filter is to be copied from an existing one.
filter name
Specifies the existing filter to copy.
