Filtering Events

It is possible to filter the events passed to an agent task (bibus » agentTaskDefinition) based on specific conditions. Specifying a data item name in the bibus » agentTaskDefinition » filterDataItemName property requires the agent to filter the events processed by the agent task. Only events that evaluate to a value of true for the named data item are processed by the agent task. The data item must be defined in the agent's condition report (the bibus » report object contained by the bibus » agentDefinition object).

If the bibus » agentTaskDefinition » filterDataItemName property does not contain a data item or contains a data item whose value does not evaluate to true, all events are passed to the agent task and no filtering occurs.
