Saving an Index Search as a Filter

While search histories are user-specific, you can save an Index Search as a search filter.

You can use these saved search filters yourself or you can share these saved search filters with other users of the appliance.

Procedure

  1. Click Search History to see the history of Index Searches.
  2. Select the saved Index Search message and then click the button. The Save As Filter dialog box is displayed.
  3. Enter a name, description and expression for the filter.
    Note: Do not use < or > in your search expression as these are not valid characters.
  4. The filter name and description helps you and other users to quickly understand the type of information that generates when running this Index Search.
  5. If you want to share this filter with other users, click the Shared with other users check box.
  6. Click Add.

    The Index Search is saved as a filter. You can use the filter in two places:

    • Search > Index Search > Search Filters tab
    • Search > All Search Filters tab
