I currently have two elements built to display specific syslog messages from two separate devices.
The element communication configs are set TCP/ANY. This was recommended by Skyline support as TCP/(device IP address) does not work.
The attached example shows the messages received from the device of interest based on the layout I configured but the device not of interest is still populating the message table with 'Not Initialised'. How do I filter the entries from the unwanted IP device entering the General Message table?
Hi Terry,
This functionality was added in DataMiner version 9.6.13/10.0.0. When adding/editing an element you can add a list of IP addressess under the "Accepted IP address" section. The element will then only accept packets which originated from one of the ip addresses in the list. (more info here)
If the DMA is not on a version that supports this, then the alternative method would be to implement a similar filtering in the protocol. I.e. Have a QAction check another table which contains a list of allowed ip addresses before it can add the message to the "messages table".
Thanks Brent.
Works on 10.0.0 in our staging server but Prod is at 9.6 CU14. So will try the QAction check for now.
