What tab

Use the What tab to define 'what' entities are to be included (or excluded) 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 will retrieve 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.

By default, all events will be included in a new search definition and therefore the list box on the What tab will be empty. Once criteria is added, the list box contains an expandable view displaying the criteria defined for the search definition.

To add an entity to the What list, expand the Add command and select the appropriate option. On the dialog that appears, specify the ‘what’ criteria for your search. The following table provides a list of the Add command options available with a brief description, the dialog that is displayed and the criteria that can be specified on each of these dialogs.

NOTE: The different Change Auditor auditing modules must be licensed in order to capture and retrieve their associated events. See the License Required column in the table below to see the Change Auditor license required.
