Specifying whitelists and blacklists

Through the Edit List window, you can manually create whitelists and blacklists or populate them with values retrieved from reference value log files.

Note: After you specified the values in your whitelist and saved the changes to the server, you cannot change the source value for existing items.

Note: After you specified your whitelist and blacklist for a dimension, you should export the list to a file. In case you need to make changes at some future time, you can use the exported file as one of your data sources for population of the list in the new dimension.

Note: After you created a whitelist of values, newly added values are not automatically included in Anomaly Detection calculations. Any imported or manually added values must be specifically selected for inclusion in Anomaly Detection calculations.

If you selected Order whitelist as shown in the Dimension properties, you may use the up and down arrows next to the Value column to reorder the display of whitelist values.

To move an item to the top or bottom of the list, press SHIFT and then click the appropriate arrow.
See Creating or editing a dimension.
