FILTERS File
A file containing a set of rules used by the various MOVER Serverclasses while
collecting audit and process ancestry data. These rules fall into two categories: (1) the
first is audit data that should not be inserted into the consolidated SQL Database, and
(2) the second category is ALERTS. These are issued when events you specify are
detected. The ALERTS can be issued via email to a TCP/IP SYSLOG, to an EMS
collector or via custom processing you provide. Refer to Chapter 3, “Configuring Filters
and the FILTERS File” starting on page 39 for more information.
Filters have two main sections; that is, logical grouping of Filter Definitions as follows:
Section 1 contains Filters that block uninformative audit data, “Ignore” Filters.
Section 2 contains Filters to process audit data.
Refer to ACTIONTYPE Filter Keyword on page 303.
FILTSAMP File
The FILTSAMP file contains an assortment of sample Filters that you may want to use
in your installation. The top of the file also contains information regarding new features
that have been added to the filtering and alerts process. If you are installing XMA for
the first time, the contents of your FILTERS file and FILTSAMP file will be the same. If
you are updating your XMA installation and wish to keep your existing FILTERS file,
only FILTSAMP will be updated.
