Filters in your workspace are applied by nvevents, the guy who opens the
event window on your box. But the ems_sieve_daemon assists him in
determining whether a particular event passes or matches a filter. But
there should be no recycling required. When you turn off a filter, the
change should take effect on the next incoming event. If you filtered it
out previously, then you should now see it, depending on what other filters
you have running and what ruleset you are using.
If you cannot get this to work, then I'd suggest you call Support, though
there is not much they can do for V4 at this stage, except to see if they
can reproduce your problem or give you some pointers.

This question is related to this problem. When I remove a filter from a
dynamic workspace, do I have to restart any daemon's in order for the
change
to take effect? I thought that shutting down the Event workspace Gui and
restarting it would work but it doesn't seem to. NV4.1, AIX4.2
Thanks in advance!

I want to filter a particular trap coming from a box. Even after putting
the
filter in the
active filter list all new traps are still displayed in the default event
display. But if I
create a new dynamic workspace with the same filter all new traps from that
box
are not
displayed.
I don't understand why it is not working in the default event display with
the
same filter..
