Managing Global Filters

A global filter allows you to hide servers in which you are not interested. The filter hides the servers from both the treeview and topology view.

To enable or customize global filter
1
Right-click your root connection node and select Set Global Filter.
2
In the Global Filter dialog box, select the servers you want to remain visible and click OK.
•
To select all servers, right-click the top node and click Select All.
•
To clear your selection, right-click the top node and click Clear All.
To remove global filters
•
Right-click your root connection node and select Remove Global Filter.

Global filters do not affect tests that are scheduled to run against the hidden servers. Global filters are stored in the MMC configuration file (.msc), so different .msc files can store different global filters. The MMC description bar indicates when global filters are enabled to remind you that some servers are hidden.

Global filters can be customized per console. For example, if two different users have their own console and are sharing the same Diagnostic Services, they can each set different global filters.

Putting Servers in Maintenance Mode

Maintenance mode, which affects all users, allows you to mark servers as offline so that you can perform maintenance on those servers. When any test runs, the Management Console skips any servers that are in maintenance mode.

To put a server into maintenance mode
1
Select target servers.
2
Right-click and select Start Maintenance Mode.
To remove a server from maintenance mode
1
Select target servers.
2
Right-click and select Stop Maintenance Mode.

While a server is in maintenance mode, the icon for the server is darkened to indicate the state of the server.
