- Enter the input file name, including its path, in the Input File text box.
- Click the Add Input file Button.
- The file is added to the Currently Selected Input Files list.
- Specify the desired filtering options by either creating a new filter or applying an existing template.
- To specify filtering criteria, click the Adjust Filter button at the top of the screen and use the Adjust Filter screen to select filtering options (see Section ).
- To apply an existing filter template, select the desired template from the drop down list at the top of the screen.
- For more information on filtering, see Sections 6.8 and 6.9.1.2.
- If you have established a filter that excludes configuration entries and you want to preserve that filtering in the output file, select the "Do not reinsert config entries needed for analysis" check box.
- If the output file name already exists and you want to replace the existing file, select the "Overwrite file if exists" check box.
- If you do not select this check box, and enter a filename that already exists, you will receive an error message.
