[Release 5.1 and later]Filter factory profile settings

Use this page to configure the runtime properties of a filter factory profile. Event emitters use the properties defined in a filter factory profile to determine whether an event is sent to the event server.

Each filter factory profile defines a single filter factory instance bound to the JNDI. Event emitters use this profile when the emitter factory profile is configured to enable filtering, and the JNDI name of the filter factory profile is specified in the Filter Factory JNDI Name property of the emitter factory profile. Emitters obtain the filter factory instance at runtime by looking up the JNDI name of the filter factory profile.

The filter configuration string is used by the filter factory instance to determine if an event is sent to the event server. Filtering enables applications to discard unwanted events before they are sent to the event server. For example, the following filter configuration string causes only events with a severity that is greater than 50 to be sent to the event server.

CommonBaseEvent[@severity > 50]
