Hi,

Is there a way to do wildcards in the user "Filter Alarms" box in the Alarm Journal? I'd like to be able to search for two terms in the display path.

Hi @Bigtalljv,

It depends where you are wanting to filter the alarms. If you are trying to filter using an Alarm Journal Table component, then the source, display path, and provider filters support '\*' as the wildcard character.

If you are trying to filter in the alarm journal settings in the gateway webpage at Config \> Alarming \> Journal, then you will need to specify your criteria using a comma separated list.

If those suggestions aren't helpful, please give more detail (including screenshots) of where you are trying to filter the alarms in your alarm journal. The more details you provide, the better the forum community can assist you.
