A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

Pairwise Configuration Example

Tip When configuring the Matching Criteria, you do not need to specify any of the ciaNames that NNMi automatically takes into account . See Matching Criteria Configuration Form (Identify Incident Pairs) for more information.

When matching incidents, NNMi automatically takes into account the following values:

SNMP Trap incidents. NNMi takes into account from which device the trap originated using the cia.address value.
Management Event incidents. NNMi takes into account the unique name of the incident's Source Object and Source Node.

Tip NNMi displays the unique name value used to identify the Source Node and Source Object in the Source Node and Source Object attribute for each incident in the Incident form.
Syslog Message incidents. NNMi takes into account the value of event.deviceAddress.

This example correlates the same ospfIfStateChange trap in a Pairwise Configuration. This example Pairwise Configuration, specifies that when the ospfIfState value changed from1 (down) to any value other than 1 (down), NNMi correlates the ospfIfStateChange incidents. See Pairwise Configuration Form (Correlate Pairs of Incidents) for more information about how to specify a Pairwise configuration.

To use the same SNMP trap in a Pairwise configuration:

Navigate to the Configuration workspace.
Expand the Incidents folder.
Select Pairwise Configurations.
Click (New) to create a Pairwise Configuration.
Enter a Name that is used to identify the Pairwise Configuration.
Make sure Enabled is checked.
In the First Incident Configuration attribute, select Quick Find from the Lookup menu.
Select OSPFIfStateChange.
In the Second Incident Configuration attribute, select Quick Find from the Lookup menu.
Select OSPFIfStateChange.
Enter a Description for the Pairwise Configuration.
Either leave the default value Customer or select New from the Lookup menu to specify an Author name.
Select Days from the Duration drop-down menu.
Enter the number of days in which NNMi correlates the Pairwise Configuration you specify .
If you want NNMi to delete the Pairwise incidents when they are canceled, click Delete When Canceled.
Navigate to the First Incident Payload Filter tab.
Use the following expression to indicate you want to use the OSPFIfState value of 1 (down):
ciaName = 1.3.6.1.2.1.14.7.1.12 AND ciaValue = 1
Navigate to the Second Incident Payload Filter tab.
Use the following expression to indicate you want to use any OSPFIfState value that is other than 1 (down):
ciaName = 1.3.6.1.2.1.14.7.1.12 AND ciaValue != 1

Note You do not need to specify Matching Criteria. NNMi checks for a match using the value of cia.address.
Click Save and Close to save your changes and return to the Pairwise Configurations view.
