Filtering events for multiple entities - Creating filters for many entities takes time, an alternative is to create a filter and apply it recursively. - Security Center 5.13

Creating filters for many entities takes time, an alternative is to create a filter and apply it recursively.

1. Configure event filters using either of these methods:
   • In Config Tool, open the Area view task.

     Right-click an area entity () and select Maintenance > Event filters ().

   • In Security Desk, open the Monitoring task.

     Right-click an area entity () and select Event filters ().

   
2. Move the slider to Recursive mode.
3. Select the appropriate filter tab and choose the event from the Filtered events list.
   NOTE: Up to three filters can be specified in the Event filters configuration window. All three filters work together.

   Filter #3 can be configured using Security Desk or Config Tool, but filters #1 and #2 can only be configured using Config Tool.

4. Add a name and description to identify the filter.
5. Set a filter scheduling option.

   Specific time

   Set a start and end time. If no end time is selected, the filter runs indefinitely.

   Duration

   Set a fixed duration for the filter to run. Duration can be set in days, hours, and minutes.

   Schedule

   Set the filter to start based on a schedule.

6. Click Apply to all children, to activate the filter.
   IMPORTANT: If you don't click Apply to all children, the filter applies only to the selected area, not to its children.
7. Click Proceed on the notification.
   IMPORTANT: This process might take a few minutes if you're filtering many events.
8. Click Close to save the settings.
