Associating a Filter with a Server

When you define an alarm filter, that filter is not used to filter alarm instances from all connected servers. It is only used to filter alarm instances from a server with which you have explicitly associated it.

 
  To associate an alarm filter with a NerveCenter server:

1. Choose Configuration from the Client menu.

   The Client Configuration dialog is displayed.

   Client Configuration Dialog

   

2. Select a server from the list of servers at the bottom of the dialog.

   The name of the server appears in the Server Name text field in the Connection Information group box. This is the server with which you will associate your alarm filter.

3. Select the Alarm Filter Selection tab.

   The Alarm Filter Selection page is displayed.

4. Select a filter from the Available Filters list.

   This is the filter you want to associate with the server you selected in step 2.

5. Select the >> button to move the filter from the Available Filters list to the Selected Filters list.

   To remove a filter from the Selected Filters list, select the filter and then select the << button.

6. Select the OK button at the bottom of the dialog.
