Putting Your Logins Search Filter to Work

You must complete a few steps to start using your Logins search filter.

Procedure

  1. Select Regular Expression Search from the navigation menu.
  2. On the RegEx Search Filter tab that appears, select the Pre-Defined radio button.
  3. In the Pre-Defined text field (Select Expression), click the drop-down menu arrow, select Logins search, and click on the filter name. The filter form reloads and now displays Logins search in the Pre-Defined text field.
    Note: If you specify the parameter $username in the Use Exact Phrase text field when you define your Logins search filter, the Appliance opens a new text box next to username in which you may further define the type of user to search for.
  4. Enter admin in the username text field to search for that class of user alone, or enter the wildcard * to search for logins from all users.
  5. Select a Start Time to run your Logins search (immediately in this example).
  6. Enter a name for your search in the Search Name text field.
  7. Click the Save Custom Report menu expansion arrow and enter a Report Name and Report Description, and select whether to Share with Others.
