Filter editor protocol: General specifications


General info

Description. The content can be customised to describe briefly the characteristics of the current filter with an ASCII character string.

Protocol Specifications... To define the protocol stacks used to decode and select events.

Filter sets... To define groups of interfaces with the same specifications.


Filter Actions

List of actions. The list can be composed of one or several action(s), or empty.
The lines of the list with the None indication are not used.
Filter actions of same type must be defined contiguously.
The highlighted action is the current one, whose type can be selected from a choice list. The specifications of the current action can be edited.

An action type can be absent from the list, and then there is not any filtering of this type carried out for the events of the interface(s) referenced in the Filter sets.

The same type of action can be included in the list several times, and that allows:

  • to cascade the selecting conditions related to the differents actions of the same type
    ( then a logical AND operation is used ).
  • to define the selecting conditions for each Filter set.

The Copy filter action and Paste filter action functions allow to duplicate the specifications of an action to an other one (in the same filter or a different one), whatever its type is.

Edit. Provides access to the specifications of the current action, which are selecting conditions to be possibly applied on events:

Replace. To replace the type of the current action by an other one.
The attached selection conditions are kept inchanged.

Up. To move up the current filter action within the list.

Down. To move down the current filter action within the list.
