Message Config screens

In various locations throughout BMC Defender Server, a Config tab permits you to provide specific configuration elements that affect screens. The Message application contains the largest number of configuration screens and monitoring functions such as filters, overrides, and other system parameters.

Message Configuration screens include the ability to set filters on data items, override message device, facility, severity, and mask certain text fields from messages. Additionally, the configuration screens provide specialized parameters of the system, such as parameters associated with message collection, and how colors are mapped to event severity. The Messages > Config functions represent the largest single type of configuration screen within BMC Defender Server and is generally available only to those users who have been granted an admin type login to the system.

The Messages > Config tabs are addressed separately in this section, to assist with organizing the content of this section. Each configuration screen provides specific functionality described here, including the purpose, general usage, and application. Further information on message configuration parameters can be found in Configure-Parameters-tab.
