Using a Semantic Filter

You can filter KPI (Key Performance Indicator) results based on attribute values with the Semantic Filter option.

Attributes are a set of user-specified properties that are indexed in Exalead CloudView. The Semantic Filter helps to compute the results according to the defined values.

Before you begin: It is necessary for modifications to be entered in the metadata in the Exalead CloudView installation directory so that the correct meta can be indexed. Data should be re-indexed in CloudView by clearing the Consolidation, Indexation and restarting the connectors and CloudView.
