Remote Console Access for Users with Viewer Roles

A new command has been added to the remote console to allow messages to be filtered down to desired results, see Filter command syntax below. In order for users with view role access to access the remote console, the filter command will need to be added to the included security resources in the main configuration file.

The simplest way to add this command is to run the XML Configuration Editor application that can be found on the start menu and add the Filter command before the Settings command in the IncludedResources configuration key in the securityProvider section of the configuration settings:

<securityProvider>
    <add name="IncludedResources" value="UpdateSettings,UpdateConfigFile=Special; Filter,Settings,Schedules,Help,Status,Version,Time,User,Health,List,Invoke,ListCommands=*; Processes,Start,ReloadCryptoCache,ReloadSettings,ResetHealthMonitor,Connect,Disconnect,Initialize,ReloadConfig,Authenticate,RefreshRoutes,TemporalSupport,LogEvent=Administrator,Editor; *=Administrator"
        description="Semicolon delimited list of resources to be secured along with role names." encrypted="false" />
</securityProvider>

Filter Command Syntax

Filters status messages coming from the service.

   Usage:
       Filter [ { -List |
                  -Include <FilterDefinition> |
                  -Exclude <FilterDefinition> |
                  -Remove <ID> } ... ]

       Filter -?

       FilterDefinition ::= Type { Alarm | Warning | Information } |
                            Message <FilterSpec> |
                            Regex <FilterSpec>

   Options:
       -List        Displays a list of the client's active filters
       -Include     Defines a filter matching messages to be displayed
       -Exclude     Defines a filter matching messages to be suppressed
       -Remove      Removes a filter
