Set as default, Netspan has pre-defined filters to help an operator narrow down the sources of an alarm for quicker troubleshooting.
Many filters have primary and secondary options to further refine results.
Two types of filters are available System Filters that are pre-defined and User Defined Filters

Each user also has the option of being able to add/define their own filters to the system. Filtering power is then significantly increased when combining system and user filters together. User defined filters can either be created afresh or cloned from an existing filter and then editing the properties of that filter.
