Saving and loading filter configurations

You can save and reuse filter configurations as needed. This can be helpful, for example, to find common characteristic between two sets of data or to show another portal administrator how to trim down a set of logs to find a particular trend.

Filter configurations are saved to the local machine running the Portal Manager, where they can be used at a later time.

To save and later load a filter configuration:

  1. After setting up and applying a filter on the Filter Configuration form, select File > Save Filter on that form.
  2. Specify a name for the filter. You can choose to overwrite an existing filter.
  3. Click Save.
  4. To reuse that filter, open the Filter Configuration form, select File > Load Filter, select the filter to use, and click Open.
  5. Back on the Filter Configuration form, click OK to apply the filter to diagnostic messages.
