Filtering the Display

To display or hide processes whose names contain specified text substrings, or to add or exclude selected LDAP transactions, click the Filter toolbar button, choose Event Filter from the View menu, or press Ctrl+L.

This action opens the Event Filters dialog box.

Event Filters Dialog Box

  • To view only processes whose names contain specified substrings, type the text expression in the Include list.

  • To exclude processes whose names contain specified substrings, type the text expression in the Exclude list.

Using Filter Expressions

  • You can enter multiple expressions by separating each expression with a semicolon (;).

  • Use the Asterisks (*) as a wildcard character.

  • Do not include spaces in the expression unless you want the spaces to be part of the filter.

  • Filter expressions are a case insensitive.

Selecting Displayed Transactions

  • To hide selected LDAP transactions, clear the corresponding check boxes.

  • To display events not commonly used for troubleshooting and configuration select Show Advanced Events.

To reset the Include and Exclude expressions and select the default LDAP transaction check boxes, click Reset to Default.

 

Notes

  • Changes in the Event Filters dialog box do not affect items already in the display.

  • When you start Insight for Active Directory with a Process Filter applied from a previous session, the Event Filters dialog box will open to confirm your filter settings. To start the console without opening the Filter dialog box, add the -q parameter to your startup command.
