• Element type - Use the <event-filter-element-type> tag to filter out events by element
type.
• Element name - Use the <event-filter-name> tag to filter out events by element name.
It is possible to specify multiple filter criteria in which case the resulting filter is a disjunction (logical
OR) of the filter conditions. For example, the following filter excludes events from hosts or those
from all element types with INFORMATIONAL severity from being forwarded from Storage
Essentials to HP SIM:
<HP-config>
<event-filter-severity>INFORMATIONAL</event-filter-severity>
<event-filter-element-type>HOST</event-filter-element-type>
</HP-config>
To filter events forwarded to HP SIM:
1. Go to the %JBOSS4_DIST%\server\appiq\config directory on the management server.
2. Create a file named hp-event-config.xml in the
%JBOSS4_DIST%\server\appiq\config directory.
3. Open the hp-event-config.xml file in Notepad.
4. Add the following to the file:
<HP-config>

5. Your filter tags will go between the <HP-config> tags, as shown in the following example:
<HP-config>
<event-filter-severity>INFORMATIONAL</event-filter-severity>
<event-filter-element-type>HOST</event-filter-element-type>
</HP-config>
6. To filter events by severity, use the <event-filter-severity> tag. For example, to prevent
informational events from being forwarded to HP SIM, enter the following between the
<HP-config> tags:
<event-filter-severity>INFORMATIONAL</event-filter-severity>
You can also filter out the following event severities:
• UNKNOWN
