Configuring Delimiters

AOM enables you to divide the log content into multiple words for search by configuring delimiters. By default, AOM provides the following delimiters:

, '";=()[]{}@&<>/:\n\t\r

If default delimiters cannot meet requirements, customize delimiters according to the following procedure.

Precautions

Delimiters are applicable only to the logs generated after the delimiters are configured. Earlier logs are processed based on earlier delimiters.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, choose Configuration Management > Log Configuration, and click the Delimiter Configuration tab.

  2. Configure delimiters.

    You can configure delimiters using the following methods: If you use both methods at the same time, the union set will be selected.

    • Custom delimiters: Click image1, enter a delimiter in the text box, and click image2.

      Note

      The asterisk (*) and question mark (?) are wildcards and cannot serve as delimiters.

    • Use ASCII code: Click Add Special Delimiters, enter the ASCII value according to ASCII Comparison Table, and click image3.

  1. Preview the log content.

    Enter the log content to preview in the text box and click Preview.

  2. Confirm the configuration and click OK.

    Note

    Click Reset to restore the default configuration. Default delimiters are as follows:

    , '";=()[]{}@&<>/:\n\t\r
