Creating and editing local filters

Local filters are valid only in the view or in the element in which they are created.

Local filters that you create in the following Monitoring views are temporary. They are only available until you close the view:

• Logs view.
• Connections view.
• Block list view.
• Users view.
• VPN SAs view.
• Routing Monitoring view.
• SSL VPNs Monitoring view.

Local filters created or edited for the following elements are saved with the element:

• Report Designs.
• Administrator elements.
• Log Server elements.
• Management Server elements.
• Correlation Situations.

You can save local filters as permanent Filter elements in all views. These Filter elements can then be used anywhere in the Management Client.
