Procedure for creating an event filter import datafile

You use the event-filter-conf.xml file as the basis for creating an event filter import datafile.

To create an event filter import datafile:

1. In the installation area from which the source Global Manager is invoked, go to the BASEDIR/smarts/bin directory and type the following command to open the event-filter-conf.xml file:

                  sm_edit conf/ics/event-filter-conf.xml
               

2. Add your event filter definitions to the file.

3. Save and close the file. The modified version of the event-filter-conf.xml file is saved to the BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf/ics directory in the installation area.

   If the Global Manager was running before you created your event filter import datafile, perform the procedure in “Reloading weight and event filter elements” on page 93 to force the Global Manager to load the event filter elements defined in the BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf/ics/event-filter-conf.xml file.

   Thereafter, every time that you modify the event filter import datafile, perform the procedure in “Reloading weight and event filter elements” on page 93 to force the Global Manager to reload the event filter elements defined in the BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf/ics/event-filter-conf.xml file.
