You can use filters to isolate parts of web traffic for a Watchpoint or reports.
Filters are built using parentheses and combinations of the following symbols: &&, ||, and !, which represent AND, OR, and NOT operators. The AND, OR, and NOT operators are interchangeable with the &&, ||, and ! operators respectively.
If you want to locate all people with "thom" at the beginning of their names, compose the following filter:
((objectclass="person") && (cn startwith "Thom"))
This expression represents a search for all entries with an object class of type "person" in which the common name begins with "Thom". By default, search is case-sensitive. To make the search case-insensitive, use the "ignorecase" attribute, so that replacing "thom" with "Thom" or "THOM" would yield the same results:
((objectclass="person") && (cn startwith "thom" ignorecase))
Search filters can be nested to any level:
((objectclass=person)&&((cn="Thomas Smith")||(cn startwith "thom"
ignorecase
)))
This filter looks for all entries with object class person in which the common name is either "Thomas Smith"or begins with "Thom". A logical operator should appear before the parenthesis enclosing the group of compares that it affects. You can specify the order for operators by nesting parentheses.
Note
The system supports different encodings and multibyte characters for entering values for filters, including right-to-left languages.
To perform this procedure, you must have Operator-level access, or higher.
Open the Add new filter dialog.
For example, in a Real User Analyzer, point to the Administration > Watchpoint management, and click Filter library. On the Action menu, click Add new filter.
Composing a filter to identify a particular web application
To perform this procedure, you must have Operator-level access, or higher.
Create a filter to detect objects with the following extensions: .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .css, .js, and .png.
In a Real User Analyzer, point to the Administration > Watchpoint management, and click Filter library.
Composing a filter to identify static object types
Filters support multinational character encoding. The following figure shows an example of using Chinese characters:
