I want to filter a particular trap coming from a box. Even after putting the
filter in the
active filter list all new traps are still displayed in the default event
display. But if I
create a new dynamic workspace with the same filter all new traps from that box
are not
displayed.

I don't understand why it is not working in the default event display with the
same filter..
