Some Text filtering ideas:
-All Test Server related messages should start with TS(<NAME>) , e.g. TS(TS139): Upgrade Status: TSU,20,10.32,Step: S40
-All Test Session, STR, DU Nodal, and DTA test messages should start with Id(<RUN ID>), e.g. Id(3): Calling test server(s) to start test

Most actions that cause a change in the system will include the Client ID that caused the change and will with either start with or contain <ID>@<IP>, e.g. Id(2): [email protected]: Preparing Resources for IP-App 2 UEs 5 Network Hosts 5 DMFs from the dan User's library.
