EpsFilters File Help

The EpsFilters file contains X resources that define the event filters for the event processor portion of the Event Processor Subsystem (EPS).

There are two categories of X resources in EpsFilters: a single resource listing the filters defined in the file and a pattern, status, and application resource for each filter.


X Resources

The following table lists and describes the X resources in EpsFilters. For each filter with a name of filterName, a pattern, status, and application resource must be defined.  
X Resource
Description
eps.filterList A space-separated list of filter names defined in this file.
eps.filterName.pattern The filter pattern for filterName. A regular expression used to identify and extract an instance of a specific event type from the input event stream.
eps.filterName.status The status of the application, typically reflecting the type or category of event that has occurred, associated with the pattern. This string can be used in the X resource name of an event definition resource record in the EpsEvents file to determine the content and destination(s) of message notification(s).
eps.filterName.application The name of the application responsible for generating the event containing the designated pattern. This string can be used in the X resource name of an event definition resource record in the EpsEvents file to determine the content and destination(s) of message notification(s).
