Method Name Filter

Overview

This component allows filtering incoming RPC request messages by method name. This filter is very efficient and useful to forward RPC request to particular plugins that handle them.

Configuration

You are able to select multiple method names in one filter. For example, if you want to have two plugins (their functionality is just for the demo purposes):

• plugin A allows getting current time
• plugin B allows getting the weather forecast You may implement plugin A to handle getTime method and plugin B to handle getWeather method. In this case you will need to configure two rules:
• rule A that points to plugin A based on “getTime” method filter
• rule B that points to plugin B based on “getWeather” method filter

Example

As a system administrator, you are able to review filter example inside Rules->Demo Time RPC Rule->Filters->Message Telemetry Filter which match rpc requests with “getTime” method name.
