Zones filter icon

Zones filter icon

To filter zones, click this icon located at the right side of the page. The system opens the Zone filter window for selecting one or more zones.

Note:

The Zones filter icon only appears when you create new zones. If you do not create any new zones, you do not see the icon.

Server Names

The primary EPM.

Search Keywords

Enter text to search for in the trace records. You can specify multiple search keywords separated by commas.

The search is case insensitive and based on a substring match, not a whole string match. For example, Acknowledged matches acknowledged, ACKNOWLEDGED, and unacknowledged.

The search uses a logical OR when combining keywords. You can separate multiple entries with a comma, and use the tilde character (~) to indicate NOT.

For example, if you enter login, logoff, ~user=admin, the report displays any records that contain the string login or logoff for all users except those user accounts that start with the string admin.

If you enter login, logoff, ~ADMIN, the report displays any records that contain the string login or logoff but that do not contain the string admin anywhere within the record.
