The vb6 monitor program is very simple, it's really just for debugging.

You can filter stuff in, but not out.

A filter is command.vendor.device.instance.schema.instance

With * used as a wild card for any element

E.g. to see only xpl tts command messages you can use

xpl-cmnd.*.*.*.tts.*

You can't say I want to see everything but heartbeats.
