Event logs filters

By default, Agents record and send all system events to the Management Console. To reduce the Management Console load, you can enable events filtering in the Agent's Profile, and have the Agents send only select events.

Note

• Even with the events filtering enabled, Agents continue to record all system events, which you can access on demand. For details, see Events - Fetch all event log entries.
• Events filtering is different from ignoring error messages in the Management Console.

Enable events log filtering

To enable events log filtering:

1. In the Management Console, select Profiles.
2. Locate and select the Agent Profile you want to edit, then click Edit.
3. In the Logging and statistics section, click Edit filter.

4. Review the events list and enable or disable select entries.

   Tip

   You can disable individual entries, or all entries in a given category. If a given category has been disabled, you have to enable the category first, and then enable individual items.

5. Click Save.

Events types

Events are divided into categories based on the log level.

Info

Info level events, related to the Agent process (startup, shutdown, renaming), high availability group failover, and file locking.

Trace

This filter controls Trace level of events about files, jobs, agents.

Connectivity trace events are all disabled by default. To enable some of them you need to first enable the whole section, and then enable the specific events that you need.

Activity trace events show the activity of the job, per source Job in Events log schema.

Other trace events are events about files.

Errors

Most common errors reported by Agents while performing data transfers.
