Using retrieval filters to collect statistics across your network reduces
• The amount of processing overhead performed by your Site Manager
workstation and any polled router
• The amount of network bandwidth consumed for the purpose of periodic
polling and poll responses
You can use display filters and retrieval filters in various combinations. For
example, you could
• Use a retrieval filter first to solicit from routers in your network the values of
certain MIB objects
• Apply a display filter to hide or show objects in the resulting statistics screen
Using Display Filters
To create a display filter, begin from a statistics screen:
1. Select Filters > Display Filters.
The Display Filters window prompts you to define the filter
(Figure 4-17).

2. Enter the text string you want to filter in the Text field.
3. Specify the column where you want the filter to take effect.
Use the slidebar to select the column that displays the statistics that you want
to filter.
