Example of Filters
The priority for applying filters is the following: when you apply a filter, all filters that are set below it are also applied, and the filters that are set above it, if any, are not applied.
If you set all filters in a view and apply the filter by data source, it will be applied and all other filters below it will be applied.
If you set all filters in a view and apply only the filter by content, then only the filter by content will be applied.
The conditions for applying the filter criteria are the following: when you set two or more filter criteria of the same type, the condition is logical OR. When you set filter criteria of a different type, the condition is logical AND.
If you set the following filters by content:
● Severity equals WARNING
● Severity equals ERROR
● Category contains /System/,
the system will display logs and traces with category /System/ and severity levels WARNING and ERROR.
