Filtering by Event Category

About this task

This topic describes how to filter alarms and events by the event category.
Note: You can filter alarms and events by the event category only if the Filter by Event Type check box is selected for respective event category. For example, if you want to receive only alarms, enable the Collect Condition Events option in Event Type, and add the Event Category tag in the Filter by Event Category section. This is because alarms belong to the Event Category tag, and the Event Category tag belongs to the Event Type condition. For other mappings, refer to iFIX Message Mappings.
