Filtering the Events in the Comms Monitor
Filter the Comms Monitor display to restrict the events displayed. You can filter by source, and by type of communication.
Note
Filtering by source controls what data is recorded in the event table. Filtering by type or by request status simply shows or hides the recorded data using the type and status filter settings.
Filtering by source
The controls at the top of the Events table allow you to filter the communications by System, Site and Table. Any events that do not match the filter are not displayed in the table.
The selections available are context sensitive. For example, if you choose a specific system, the list of sites available includes the sites within that system.
Choosing a range of sites
To choose a range of sites, specify the From Site and To Site settings. Sites are listed in alphabetical order.
Note
When Rubicon configures sites for a network, site names are prefixed with a number such that the site name is closely related to its network location. This means that selecting a range of sites by name selects a geographically meaningful group of sites. If this is not true for your network, selecting a range of sites may not be useful.
Filtering by type
The Filter Display controls at the bottom left of the Events table allow you to filter by communication type and status.
Filter by type by choosing to display All events, Poll events or Burst events
If you have included poll events, you can filter by status by choosing to display either All requests, Successful requests or Failed requests. Burst data is not requested by the host, so it is not useful to filter these events by request status.
