Filter
With a large number of KFSensor Sensor installations monitoring a large network, it is possible for the performace of
the KFSensor Administrator machine to become over burdened by a large number of events.
This filter reduces the amount of data retrieved and displayed making it more managable.
- Retrieve severity
Only retrieve events greater or equal to this severity
For example this filter can be used to ignore low priority events.
