ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
623
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.
