You can filter the contents of existing binary event logs and create a new binary event log file containing a subset of the events from the originals. When you create a new binary log file, Compaq Analyze checks the events in the original binary event log file against the filter statement. All the events that meet the criteria specified by the filter statement are added to the new binary event log file. The new binary event log file can then be used for analysis, translation, or any other Compaq Analyze process. The syntax for creating new binary event log files is as follows:

ó By default, the system event log is used as the input file. If you want to process a different binary log file or files, you must specify the input file location and name.
ª See Section 2.9.1 for more information on working with input files. 2

| : O You cannot use multiple input files with the common syntax. If you are using another syntax, you can specify multiple input files and merge them into a single binary log file (in this case, filtering occurs for each input file before events are written to the new file). Be aware that Compaq Analyze does not remove duplicate events.n P | n

You can specify the events from a binary event log file that you want to include in the new log file by defining a filter. If you do not define a filter, the new log file will contain all the events in the existing log file. For more information on filtering refer to Section 2.9.3.
