You can filter out log events during collection so that some of the logs data will not be collected and available in XpoLog (alternatively it is also possible to mask data)

To set the data filter:

  1. Under Advanced Settings, click Data Filter. 
    The Data Filter definitions open.
  2. Enter a search query that filters only events that should be collected from the log (events that don't satisfy the query will be ignored).
    It is recommended to run the same query in the Search console prior to saving this filtering to ensure the result is the desired one.
