Data Filter Operator

Data Filters in Pinpoint

Data filters let you select a subset of messages from the logs you load in Pinpoint. The operators let you build filter queries, ranging from simple to complex. The most basic operator set consists of the us of  “is” and “=”. 

Pinpoint_Filter_Operator

These are the default operators in the Add Data Filter command, available on the right-click dropdown menu in the Messages area.

The other data filter operators let you build sophisticated filters for analyzing the HL7 data in your log. (Learn how data filters work in the section on Working with Data Filters.)
