Filter
Filter is used to display only records that are important
for the administrator to know. Filter can be enabled by the
option View / Show/Hide Filter Panel in the console menu.
To activate lter, check the Use Filter checkbox and
click the Apply Changes button to start the ltering. In
the rst section – Computer lter criteria you can lter
servers / clients in several ways:
Only clients (whole word) –
Only those clients whose
name corresponds to a word thread you typed in will
be included in the output.
Only clients like – Only those clients whose name contains
a thread you typed in will be included in the output.
Exclude clients (whole word) – The opposite of “Only clients
(whole word)”.
Exclude clients like – The opposite of “Only clients like”. In
the next section, you can limit ltration by the Groups
division.
Clients in Groups – In this case, only clients belonging to
dened groups will be selected.
Clients in other Groups or N/A - Only clients belonging
to other than chosen groups, or not belonging
to any group will be included in output. If
a client belongs to some of the chosen groups,
but also in a group that was not selected, then
this client will also be included in output.
Clients in no groups - Only the workstations not
belonging to any other groups will be chosen.
The other lter settings dier depending on the active
tab, but mostly it is only a variation of the time lter that
can limit outputs only to records that were created in
a certain time period.
Context menu
Click the right mouse button on the event list to
bring up a menu that enables applying other features to
eectively lter events. These are the options:
Select by 'aaa' – Only records containing thread aaa
in the same attribute (column), where the context
menu has been brought up will be selected. Thread
aaa will be automatically replaced by the value from
the cell, where the context menu has been brought
up.
Inverse selection – Inversed selection will be performed.
Hide selected – Hides selected items.
Hide unselected –Choose this option to hide items that
were not selected.
The two last options can be suitably applied after you
have used the previous options. Filters set by the context
menu can be canceled in the menu View / Cropped View,
or by console tray icon. Or, alternatively, press F5 (shortcut
to refresh).
A Practical Example:
• We want only those workstations with some virus
event to be displayed:
Click the right mouse button in the Clients tab on any
of the Last Virus Alert empty cells and choose Select by ‘’
from the context menu. Now, in the context menu bring
up the Hide selected feature.
• We want to display virus events only from the
workstations George and Edward.
Click the right mouse button on any cell with the
text “George” in the Client Name column in the Alert Log
tab. In the context menu choose Select by ‘George‘. Now
press and hold the CTRL and in a similar way (with the
right mouse button and by selecting Select by ‘Edward’)
select ‘Edward’. Click the right mouse button and choose
Hide unselected from the context menu. Release the
CTRL key.
At the same time, together with the left mouse
button, you can use the CTRL key to select/unselect
chosen items, as well as the SHIFT key to select/unselect
a group of items.
How to use the console more
