Search Properties tabs

To define custom search criteria, use the Search Properties tabs, which are displayed across the bottom of the Searches page. The Search Properties tab pane consists of the following tabs:

Click Show Properties

Info tab

From the Info tab, you can view or enter the name and description of a search definition. You can also define the maximum number of records to be retrieve and display, or enable a refresh interval that defines how often the client is to retrieve and redisplay updated information.

The Info tab contains the following information and controls:

Search Name

Displays the name of the selected search.

When creating a search, place your cursor in this text box and enter a descriptive name for the search.

Search Description

Displays the description of the selected search.

To add a description to a new search, place your cursor in this text box to enter a brief description of the search.

Search Limit

Specifies the maximum number of records to retrieve and display. By default, the maximum of 50,000 records are returned from the database during a single request. Select this check box and use the arrow controls to change the search limit for the selected search.

Refresh Interval

Specifies how often the client is to retrieve and redisplay updated information. Select this check box and use the arrow controls to enable and set the refresh interval for the selected search.

When this option is checked, an extra field, Next Refresh, is added to the heading area of the Search Results grid.

1
Place your cursor in the Search Name text box and enter a descriptive name for the search.
2
Place your cursor in the Search Description text box and enter a brief description of the search.

The Search Limit field specifies the maximum number of records to retrieve and display for the selected search. By default, a maximum of 50,000 records are returned from the database during a single request.

The Refresh Interval field specifies how often to retrieve and redisplay updated information.

1
Select the Refresh Interval check box to enable this feature and activate the field to the right of this field.
When this option is checked, an extra field, Next Refresh, is added to the heading area of the search results grid whenever this search is run.

Who tab

The Who tab allows you to view or define the users, computers and groups to include in (or exclude from) the search definition. You can also select to include or exclude administrators. When multiple ‘who’ criteria is specified, Change Auditor uses the ‘OR’ operator to evaluate change events, returning events for activity performed by any of the users, computers, or groups listed.

The Who tab contains the following information and controls:

Runtime Prompt

Select this check box to prompt for the ‘who’ criteria when this search runs. That is, when you select Run, the Select Active Directory Object dialog is displayed allowing you to locate and select the users, computers, or groups to search.d

NOTE:  

Exclude the Following Selection(s)

Select this check box to specify the users, computers, or groups to exclude from the search. That is, Change Auditor is to search all users, computers, and groups except those listed.

Include Event Source Initiator

Select this check box if you want to include Active Roles or GPOADmin events in the search. Selecting this check box instructs Change Auditor to retrieve all change events made by the specified user account, including those initiated by Active Roles and GPOADmin.

Who list

Contains the individual users, computers and groups to include in the search (or excluded from the search if the Exclude the Following Selection(s) option is checked).

By default, all users, computers, and groups are included in a new search definition and therefore, this list is empty.

1
On the Who tab, click Add to add an active user, computer, or group to the ‘who’ list.
2
Click Add to add it to your selection list.
3
After selecting one or more directory objects, click Select to save your selection and close the dialog.
NOTE: You can use Add with Events (instead of Add) to select a user, computer, or group that already has an audit event associated with it in the database. The accounts available for selection are based on the ‘when’ clause (When tab) and the search limit (Info tab) specified for the current search.

Use this to search for events that are tied to users who have been removed from Active Directory.

4
Optionally, select Add | Administrator, select Yes or No to include or exclude users with the Administrator right, and click OK.
TIP: If you are running Active Roles or GPOADmin and want to include events generated by Active Roles or GPOADmin in the search, select the Include Event Source Initiator check box. For more information, see the Active Roles Integration or GPOADmin Integration sections in the Change Auditor Installation Guide.
1
On the Who tab, expand Add and select the Add Wildcard Expression option.
For example, LIKE *admin* finds all users with the character string ‘admin’ anywhere in the name.
NOTE: When using the Group option, the Group Membership Expansion option on the Coordinator Configuration page (on the Administration Tasks tab) must be set to Expand all groups.
3
After entering the wildcard expression to use, click OK to close the dialog and add the wildcard expression to the ‘who’ list.

What tab

Use the What tab to define ‘what’ entities to inlcude (or exclude) in the search. More specifically, using this tab you can create a search for events based on:

When criteria is specified on the What tab, Change Auditor retrieves only those events that match the criteria listed on the What tab. When multiple ‘what’ criteria is specified on this tab, Change Auditor uses the ‘AND’ operator to evaluate an event and returns only those events that meet all the specified criteria. However, when multiple subsystems (for example, Active Directory, ADAM and Exchange) are specified, Change Auditor uses the ‘OR’ operator to evaluate these entities, returning events that meet any of the specified subsystem criteria. This also applies when multiple event classes are specified. That is, when multiple event classes are specified, Change Auditor uses the ‘OR’ operator and returns any of the specified events.

Once criteria is added, the criteria list box contains an expandable view displaying the following information for all the criteria defined for the search definition:

Lists the entity (subsystem, event class, object class, severity, or result) selected. Expanding the Entity entry displays the specific criteria and any options or restrictions, defined as part of the search criteria.

Click the expansion box to the left of the Entity field to expand this view to display the following details:
