Define Sniff Pattern
Summary: Perform these steps to define new sniff patterns and their associated
properties. You can also change existing sniff patterns, or delete a sniff
pattern.
The sniff pattern is a string that is used as a pattern-matching template
when working with log files. When the text string defined in the sniff
pattern occurs in a log error message, the KM generates an event in the
event log and creates annotations, if configured to do so.
To define or update a sniff pattern:
Step 1
Right-click the instance icon of the log file you want to view.
Step 2 From the KM Commands menu, choose Log Sniffing => Edit
Sniff Pattern

Step 3 In the Log Sniff Setup dialog box, click Add if you want to define a new
sniff pattern.Click
Edit if you want to change a previously defined sniff
pattern.
Step 4 Click Take Action.
