Tags

Tags are for definition of arbitrary amount of own groups, which you can assign to individual source devices and parsers. Every device can contain tags, which for example specify his placement, inclusion, assignment, state etc.

You can filter the Classifiers, Templates, Parsing rules, filter data from the devices in Dashboards and create overviews based on tags.

Every message stored in Logmanager system contains user_tags attribute. Device, which was a tag defined, stores to all own incoming messages name of this specific tag.

You can define color of the font and background color for better visual clarity.

All defined tags are loaded in the tag list and only information about the tag name is shown (name). Above the tag list is a search box, where you can filter the records.
