Hello Peter, yes, I understand the situation and this idea has been added to our pipeline.
Hello,
thanks for the suggestion. The issue with it for us is, that those filters tend to not work well, ie. when including Description.
And we have to wait then for a reload kinda of the events. As our libraries are big and under heavy load, that alone is already annoyingly slow.
But also its a step we now need to do every single time we need to check errors in the events. So, for me, thats at least daily, where a tape or something had an issue and I go and check if I need to investigate further in one of our IBM libraries.
Even your own technician mentioned how just noise and clutter like the event log became now.
So, I consider it as a good workaround, but to suggest to do the same steps for every login seems a bit frustrating and time consuming. Maybe simply move login events to its own table and no other change is needed. So those that wanna check logins can do it. We never needed to, due to very limited access to the library physically and the GUI being in its own separated management network.
I hope you see the point why it can be frustrating for those that work daily with the library.
If you need any specific details or similar, let me know. Happy to share.
Peter, thanks for submitting your idea. IBM has evaluated this request and determined that this functionality is currently available through the library GUI. The way to deactivate audit messages is, at the event monitoring interface, select "Filter", then select "Advanced Filter" option, and then choose to display event type different than "Audit", then apply filter. I'm adding a screenshot with steps outlined above. In case this functionally does not satisfy your needs, please reply back with further details.
