Event Filters

Event filters are used to customize the severity of events sent to Local-Email notification. This allows administrators to control more precisely the severity of events they receive. Event filtering aplies both to Email and scripts.
These severity changes do not affect the Remote Notification providers like SRS or NetConnect. Filtering can be done against a single event or a category of events using the following fields:

If a specific event-code is entered, then the filter will apply only to that event. If no event-code is entered and a combination of device-type and description pattern is entered, the filter will possible apply to a wide range of events.
A valid regular expression can be entered in the description pattern like:
  u\dd\d+ : meaning u1d1 or u2d12
  port.\d+ is 'offline     # will match any offline port
