Elements of Filter Formulas
Notes: 1. The equal to (==) and unequal (!=) expressions follow C language syntax.
2. If more than one expression is used to define a filter, first enclose each expression in parentheses and
then combine them with AND or OR. Parentheses are used to maintain the order of evaluation.
Otherwise conditions are evaluated from left to right.
3. If you want to test a log process without saving data into the database, set the filter formula to an
impossible condition; for example, (TIME<000000).
