I want to omit a tag path in the alarm table. I know how to filter by a specific word, but I want to omit a folder.

If you filter on the Source property you can filter it there.

```auto
	dpath = str(alarmEvent.get('Source'))
	if 'Path/To/FolderName' in dpath:
		return False
	else:
		return True
	return True
```

Thank you Mike. I was trying to do that in the Source Filter. It works so much better int he script!
