setting up filters

["Pretorius, Vynita" <VPretorius@fnb.co.za>]

Hi All

I have too many alerts going to trapd.log which caused problems.

If I set up a filter via the gui will that stop those certain alerts from
going to trapd.log?
also if I close the map will that filter still be in place?
and if I have multiple maps owned by others how do I know if they are
excluding alerts that I want?

So how do I do this.

Thanks
