Examples of using Include Text and Exclude Text in conjunction to refine the alert output

Example A: String as exclude text

In this example, you are not interested in receiving alerts for disk errors about fragmented disks from a particular drive mount point, but you want all other errors to come through.

2015-02-03T15:38:45.129748-06:00 SLES12u0x64 Error code 4: Disk /dev/sda has errors

2015-02-03T15:38:45.129748-06:00 SLES12u0x64 Error code 5: Disk /dev/sda is fragmented

2015-02-03T15:38:45.129748-06:00 SLES12u0x64 Error code 6: Disk /dev/sda has a bad block

To raise alerts for the disk error and bad block but not for a fragmented disk, you could enter the following:

Include Text entry

Exclude Text entry

Error code.*Disk /dev/sd[a-z]

is fragmented

* 
NOTE: Include Text does not recognize line breaks within the text box. This means that if you entered
code 5
code 7
NOTE: the search would look for matches for code 5code 7. In this case you should use Add to create a separate line for the second inclusion.
NOTE: However, Exclude Text does recognize line breaks within the text box. This means that if you entered
code 5
code 7
NOTE: the search would look for matches for code 5 together with code 7. In this case you do not need to use Add to create a separate line for the second exclusion.

Example B: Basic regular expression as exclude text

In this example, you are not interested in receiving alerts for disk errors about fragmented disks or age information from a particular drive mount point, but you want all other errors to come through.

2015-02-03T15:38:45.129748-06:00 SLES12u0x64 Error code 4: Disk /dev/sda has errors

2015-02-03T15:38:45.129748-06:00 SLES12u0x64 Error code 5: Disk /dev/sda is fragmented

2015-02-03T15:38:45.129748-06:00 SLES12u0x64 Error code 6: Disk /dev/sda has a bad block

2015-02-03T15:38:45.129748-06:00 SLES12u0x64 Error code 7: Disk /dev/sda is more than 3 years old

To raise alerts for the preferred events while ignoring the events that contain error code 5 or error code 7, you could enter the following:

Include Text entry

Exclude Text entry

Error code.*Disk /dev/sd[a-z]

Error code [5|7]

Escaping special characters in the include or exclude criteria text fields

When you type characters into the exclude or include criteria text fields you can also enter special characters such as single or double quotes. However, if you use these special characters, they must be escaped with a backslash character (\) in order for the search to work properly.

Character

Description

'

single quote

"

double quote

`

back tick

\

backslash

For example, to search for Received 'redoubt started' message, you would type Received \'redoubt started\' message.
