Searching and filtering policies

Text entered in the search field searches for the characters in the policy names and the policy conditions. Note, some conditions are internal, so the search might return policies that you are not expecting. You can also filter the list based on the policy type or current state.

Procedure

  1. Click the navigation icon at the upper-left corner of the screen to go to the main navigation menu.

  2. In the main navigation menu, click Operate > Automations.

To filter the list of policies in the table:

Click the Filter icon Filter to open the filter side panel.

  • Select from the following Tags to filter by policy type:

    • Analytics
    • Impact
    • Dashboard
    • Incident
    • Preset
    • Runbooks
    • Scope-based
    • Seasonal
    • Suppression
    • Temporal
    • User

  • Filter policies by Status:

    • Policy successful, no recent failures Policy success
    • Policy successful, but has had recent failures Policy successful, but has had recent failures
    • Policy failed on last attempt Policy failed on last attempt
    • Policy has not been attempted Policy not attempted

    Note: Failed policies turn red Policy failed on last attempt. In the event where a policy fails but then works, a yellow execution status Policy successful, but has had recent failures will remain for approximately 8 hours. Policies with a red or yellow status will move back to green Policy success after approximately 8 hours.


  • Filter policies by State:

    • Disabled
    • Enabled

  • Filter policies by Triggers:

    • Before an alert is created
    • After an alert is created
    • After an alert has been updated
    • After an incident is created
    • After an incident has been updated
    • System triggers

    Within a filter type, multiple selections are summed together. For example, if you select both Runbooks and Incident under the Tag filter, you will see the list of policies that contain either of these tags.

    Between filter types, the AND operator is used. For example, if you select Incident under the Tag filter and Enabled under the State filter, you will see the list of policies that contain both of these conditions.

  1. Click Apply to apply your selected filters to the policies table.

  2. Click Clear filters above the table header row to clear all searches and filters.

Note: Preset policy names and internal action references to "story" or "stories" are synonymous with incidents. Incident triggers and condition references supported in the "Invoke IBM Tivoli Netcool/Impact" policy template are stored as story. For policy search based on conditions, use "story" instead of "incident". For example, to find incident.title in a policy search, use story.title. These internal references and policy names have no bearing on actual behavior and are for internal processing purposes only. Any references to "story" in preset policy names, or other policy details or specifications is not an error, and is equivalent to incident in all respects.
