Custom Fields in Event Monitor Search

Hi all,

Can anyone confirm whether custom fields configured as Single Select Lookup and linked to a System Lookup are not supported in Event Search / Event Monitor?

I noticed that these fields do not appear as search criteria, even when they are configured as Public Shared Fields.

Is this a general limitation for all Single Select custom fields that use a System Lookup, or does it depend on the specific System Lookup type?

Thanks.

I’m not sure if this is something which might be supported in the new event monitor GUI at a later date, but as of now both the wiki for 25R1 and the latest release (26R1) both state this is not supported:

The following table shows which shared Event and Item field types are supported as Monitor Columns, Query Profile criteria and in assyst Reports.

Multi-Select Lookup   green-tick.png  

Note: The field type of Multi-Select Lookup is not suitable for use in assyst Reports and Monitor Columns, and the Single-Select Lookup field type is not available for Query Profiles.

 

This is something which would be very useful to have available as we wouldn’t have to use ETM to constantly recreate the desired system lookups as a custom lookups
