Custom filters in data sets

Hi,

Is there a way to create custom filters that can be applied in data sets? Specifically I want to create a filter for database name from SQL Server. I have already made a custom extracted field for the database name, but I'd like to use this in the data set.

The logs are collected with an agent from the Windows Application Log where SQL Server Audit writes them.

I have noticed that the vSphere Content Pack adds filters like appname, vc_username etc, but I want to add a custom filter.

Thanks for any assistance.

We cannot use extracted fields in data sets. We can use static fields however. If you are using the agent to ingest the SQL logs you can use the parsers that can be defined in the agent config, if you are able to parse out the server name then you can use it to define the data set you need.

Thanks.
