#### _ **Product/components** used and **version/fix** level:_

Cumulocity IoT V 10.18

#### _Detailed explanation of the problem:_

I want to offload events with specific verbiage in them. I’m looking for events where the text contains “bsci\_GetAvailableSoftwarePackagesEvent’” - an event we write to the audit log.

#### _Error messages / **full error** message screenshot / **log** file:_

No error message; nothing gets offloaded

#### _Question related to a **free trial** , or to a **production (customer)** instance?_

Production instance

Hi Dave,

are you already using filter predicates to restrict which events should be offloaded?

If yes, can you share the definition of the filter predicate you are using?

I found that I was looking at text when I should have been looking at type. When I chanced the filter predicate to type=‘bsci\_GetAvailableSoftwarePackagesEvent’, that created the offload I was looking for.
