Global Monitoring Filters can be used to filter out certain changes to objects that do not need to be audited. Changes that are filtered through a global filter are still recorded in the local ADMonitor Cache, but will not show up in ADMonitor Viewer or web reports.

 

The table below lists the types of triggers and criteria that can be used to filter changes. Note that multiple conditions can be combined, for example an object change can be combined with an attribute change.

In most cases the Viewer utility can be used to test a filter and ensure it works as expected.
