Change Auditor for Fluid File System 7.3 - User Guide

File/Folder Inclusion and Exclusion Examples

This section provides sample entries for the Inclusions and Exclusions tabs on the auditing wizard. It does not list every combination available, but provides a variety of examples to help you understand how to use the wildcard characters allowed on these two tabs.

Use these two tabs as described below:

•
Inclusions tab - enter a file mask to specify what is to be audited.
•
Exclusions tab - optionally enter a file mask (or path) to specify subfolders and files in the selected audit path that are to be excluded from auditing.

Inclusions tab

You must enter a file mask on the Inclusions tab to specify what is to be audited in the selected audit path. Use the following characters to specify a file mask on the Inclusions tab:

•
Fixed characters such as letters, numbers and other characters that are allowed in file names.
•
An asterisk (*) wildcard character to substitute zero or more characters.
•
Question mark (?) wildcard character to substitute a single character.
•
A double asterisk (**) to specify a recursive match. (find match in the folder and all subfolders in audit path).
Examples:

The following table provides some examples of file masks that can be used on the Inclusions tab of the auditing wizard. Note that <String> in this table may contain any of the file mask characters described above (i.e., fixed characters, * or ?).

Table 3. Inclusion examples
What is included in the audit:
Inclusion syntax/examples:

Inclusion Syntax: <FileName>.*

Example: Name.*

Includes:
Name.txt
Name.docx
Name.pdf

Include all files with a specific file extension.

Inclusion Syntax: <FileNameString>.<Ext>

Example 1: *.tmp

Includes:
Files with a file extension of .tmp.

Name.tmp
Testing.tmp

Example 2: ???*.doc

Includes:
Files whose name contains at least three characters with a file extension of .doc.

MyTest.doc
Testing123.doc
123.doc

Example 3: ???test.doc

Includes:
Files whose name contains seven characters and ends in ‘test’ with a file extension of .doc.

ABCtest.doc
123test.doc

Include all files with a specific file name that has a file extension of a specific length (number of characters).

Inclusion Syntax: <FileName>.<ExtString>

Includes:
Name.txt
Name.tmp
Name.pdf

Exclusions tab

If you do not want to exclude anything (folders or files) in the audit path from auditing, skip this tab. However, if you want to exclude a specific folder/file or group of folders/files, use the following characters to specify what is to be excluded:

•
Fixed characters such as letters, numbers and other characters that are allowed in file names.
•
An asterisk (*) wildcard character to substitute zero or more characters.
* 
NOTE: Use a single asterisk (*) to specify a non-recursive match (find match in the folder only; does not match any slash characters (\)).

Use a double asterisk (**) to specify a recursive match (find match in the folder and all subfolders in audit path; matches slash characters (\) and directory names in paths).

•
Question mark (?) wildcard character to substitute a single character (does not match any slash characters (\).
* 
NOTE: Be sure to select the appropriate Add option (Folder or File) when adding an exclusion or you may not get the results expected. That is, use Add | Folder to exclude the auditing of activity against files/subfolders in folder(s) that match the exclusion string. Use Add | File to exclude the auditing of activity against file(s) that match the exclusion string.
Examples

The following tables provide some examples of file masks that can be used on the Exclusions tab of the auditing wizard. Note that <String> in these tables may contain any of the file mask characters described above (i.e., fixed characters, * or ?).

Audit Path = Volume (<VolumeName>)

In the following examples, the volume name is Vol0 (Audit Path = Vol0).

* 
NOTE: Volume names are case sensitive and must be entered correctly in the Audit Path field on the auditing wizard.
