9.4.2 Setting Event Parsers
Select an Event Parser from the list to see how the fields are configured for that Event parser. The following table describes
these fields at a general level, as well as the option buttons. Many of the fields will have a variable name, discussed after this
table.
TABLE 9-4 Event Parser Configuration Form
Option Description
Name Name of the event. The name should match the type of event.
Match String
The match criteria determine whether the Event will be parsed by the given Event parser or not. If a
field is left blank, it is automatically matched. Otherwise all fields (AND condition applied) must
match the input event.
To specify a match criteria, the following may be used in expressions.
Wild Card - Asterisk (*): To signify match 0 or more characters of any value. e.g., *Failed* will
match any String with Failed somewhere in it.
Negation - Exclamation (!): This can be used at the start of a field, to specify exclusion of Events
matching the succeeding expression. e.g., !Failed will exclude Strings with Failed anywhere in them.
Note: Expressions like *Failed, Fai*d and * have the expected meanings in the
match criteria.
