Filters

Filters is a standard configuration interface for adding, editing, and removing the SQL filters used when displaying events in Oracle Communications Unified Assurance. You can restrict access to certain filters to a specific user, to your user group, or to any other group or user.

You access the event list using filters by selecting Events from the main Unified Assurance navigation. When you expand Filters by Group, you can see filters in the filter group that has been set as the restrictive filter group for you or your user group, and any child filter groups and filters. When you expand Private filters, you can see filters where User Owner is set to you specifically.

For information about interacting with the grid and form, see Standard Configuration Interface in Unified Assurance Concepts.

This user interface calls REST methods from the api/event/filters endpoints. See REST API for Unified Assurance Core for details.

To open this interface, from the main navigation menu, select Configuration, then Events, and then Filters.

Form Fields

  • Name: The name of the filter.

  • User Owner: The user owner of the filter.

    Note

    Filters are considered private if User Owner is set to any value other than Public to All Users In Group. Private filters cannot be added to filter groups. If a filter is changed from public to private, it will be removed from all groups.

  • Group Owner: The group owner of the filter.

  • Default Display: The display to use by default when a user selects the filter.

  • Shard: The specific database shard that will be used.

  • Show Symptoms: Whether or not to show events that have been marked as a symptom.

  • Filter Clause: The SQL WHERE clause used to filter the events.

    Do not include the word where or a final semicolon (;). When filtering the events, the clause is internally added to a larger statement, which does not necessarily end at the same place as this clause.

  • Viewers: Additional user groups that will be able to use the filter.

For details about User Owner, Group Owner and Viewers, see Configuring Ownership and Viewer Access in Unified Assurance Security Guide.
