Dell PowerProtect DD Management Center (DDMC) 7.9 Installation and Administration Guide

Working with filters

Filters are used to selectively define the output of a DDMC function. For example, filters can be used to define the scope of elements that display on a page, tailor the output of a report, or target the Data Domain or PowerProtect systems to be monitored for Dashboard widgets. The Filter (funnel-shaped) control appears on pages and dialogs whenever a filter can be used.

About this task

The drop-down menu on the Filter control allows you to select the groups, properties, systems, or rules to be used for filtering. When a filter is active on a page, the Filter control is selected. Filtering can be switched on or off using the Filter control as a toggle.

The Filter by rule option lets you create custom rules that can be saved for reuse or run in the current location. The rule can be built using any of the standard filter criteria (groups, properties, and systems), along with any existing properties or groups that have been created. Controls for logic (is, is not, contains, does not contain, so forth) are provided, and statements can be inclusive or selective.

NOTE Global Filter is only available in Classic view and is not supported in the Cloud tab.

To create a custom filter rule:

Steps

  1. From the Filter drop-down menu, select Filter by rule.
  2. In the Filter by Rule dialog, provide a name for the filter.
  3. Using the selection menus in the Match the following area, create the criteria for your rule. The criteria consists of one or more statements.

    Create the first statement by selecting an object from the first menu (System, Group, Model, OS, Domain Name, etc.) and a logic condition (contains, does not contain, is, is not, etc.), then the target (text you input or a menu selection, based on the previous selections). For example, a statement could be "Model is DD880".

  4. If needed, add more statements with the Add row (+) control, or add conditions to the rule using the Block (...) control, which adds the choice of All or Any to the Match the following area), and create additional statements.
  5. Select the Save (disk) control to make this filter available from the Filter menu list or select Filter to run the filter once and exit.
  6. To remove the filter and return to unfiltered content, select Clear filter from the Filter menu.
    NOTE The filter may still be available with the Recent filters option on the Filter control list.
