Summary data filters let you choose the policies, modules, operating systems, and messages that Symantec Enterprise Security Manager includes in the grid, chart, or security reports. The filters do not affect the reports that the Reports tool produces.
You can use filters to remove policies, modules, operating systems, and the messages that you do not want to display.
The filters apply to the summary data in the enterprise tree from My ESM Enterprise to a selected manager. The filters may go down through the manager's domains to the modules in the summary branch. As a result, you can filter summary data at any level that Symantec Enterprise Security Manager reports.
You can select filter properties using the Summary Data Filter dialog box as follows:
The Policy tab lets you select a single policy. You can choose to always use the most recently run policy or select a different policy run.
The Modules and Operating Systems tab lets you select specific modules and operating systems; for example, Windows, UNIX, NetWare, or OpenVMS.
The Messages tab lets you enable long message text and suppressed messages displays. It also displays the message differences between the most recent policy run and a previous policy run.
If you choose to show suppressed messages, the Level column in the grid indicates which messages are suppressed.
If you choose to view policy run differences, the grid displays new, unchanged, and old messages in different typefaces. New messages appear in bold type, unchanged messages appear in normal type, and old messages appear in italics.
You can select whether to show new, unchanged, and old messages.
You must select either drill-down mode or summary mode to use the differences filter.
The Differences box indicates that policy run differences are shown.
The Suppressed box indicates that suppressed messages are shown.
The Filter Applied box indicates that operating system, module, or policy filters are active.
