Applying filtering conditions

Objective

To apply filtering conditions to a resource model.

Note:
This option is available for Windows resource models only.

Background information

Applying filtering conditions to a resource model is optional. In the CIM Classes editor page, you can manually enter a "where" clause. From the Set Filtering Conditions window, you can obtain the same result without writing any code. You can build the conditions that make up your query by clicking buttons and selecting items from lists. Buttons are enabled or disabled, complying with the logic of the expression.

The Selected Properties table lists the properties you have selected for the specified class. You can use each of them to create a filter and define the instances you want to collect.

The filtering query that you build displays in WQL language in the lower pane of the window.

Before you begin

Create a list of properties to monitor that are relevant to the class you have selected. See Selecting the properties to log.

When you finish

Specify when you want an event to be generated and whether you want it to be sent to the Tivoli Enterprise Console server or to Tivoli Business Systems Manager. See Specifying event triggering conditions.

Procedure

Build a query by doing the following:

  1. Double-click a property to open the Filter Condition Definition window.

    Additional Information: The possible conditions vary depending on whether the property is a string or a numeric value. As an option, you can click "NOT" to collect instances that do not meet a certain criteria, or "(" to form complex or grouped queries.

  2. Select a filtering condition symbol from the drop-down list.
  3. Enter a corresponding value in the text box.
  4. Click OK to return to the Filter Condition Definition window.
  5. Click Delete to delete the last condition displayed in the Condition table.
  6. (Optional) Click Collection Test to see the result of the filtered data collection.
  7. Click Next to proceed with the resource model wizard.
