Veritas Data Insight Administrator's Guide

Filters for account names or SIDs

Typically, used to mask service accounts from registering data accesses into Veritas Data Insight. For example, if an antivirus software performs scans on a mounted share using a specific user account, you can add that user account to a filter. Data Insight omits all accesses made by that service user account.

Filters for IP addresses

Used to filter data accesses from specific IP addresses. Such filters are useful if you have file system scanners configured on certain machines in your environment, whose accesses you want to ignore.

Filters for path names

Filters for path names are of two types, file extension based and path based.

The file extension based filter specifies the file extensions to be filtered.

The path based filter specifies the path of a folder and filters out all events which have that path prefix. For path-based filtering, you must specify a fully qualified path prefix or a path relative to the root of each share. You can also use the wildcard (*) with a prefix string to exclude paths that have the string in the path name.

Filter for URLs

Used to filter data accesses from specified web applications or from SharePoint sites. Use fo wildcard (*) in exclude rules for access events is not supported.
