You can create global events filters that can be used in one or more subscriptions for mobile devices and WebSockets. You can also create event filters that are unique to a subscription.

Before you begin

You must have supervisor authority to create event filters.

You can create up to 20 global event filters.

About this task

The following global event filters are predefined:

Match All Critical. This filter matches all critical events that are generated by any managed device or by XClarity Administrator.
Match All Warning. This filter matches all warning events that are generated by any managed device or by XClarity Administrator.

  Tip
  To forward events for all managed devices (current and future), select the Match all systems checkbox.
  If you do not select the Match all systems checkbox, ensure that the selected devices do not have a DUMMY-UUID in the UUID column. A Dummy-UUID is assigned to devices that have not yet recovered after a restart or are not discovered completely by the management server.
