Introduction

From the Agent Configuration page on the Administration Tasks tab you can define how Change Auditor handles duplicate Exchange folder open events and enable and disable event logging for Exchange events.


	NOTE: This setting and event logging apply to the Exchange subsystem and therefore do not apply to Office 365 Exchange Online events, which are part of the Office 365 subsystem.

Exchange Folder Open Event setting

Use the Exchange tab at the top of the Configuration Setup dialog to define how Change Auditor handles duplicate folder open events.

Discard duplicates that occur within nn seconds

This setting defines how long to hold Exchange folder open events to determine if duplicates have occurred before they are forwarded to the client. This process is intended to eliminate the folder open events that Outlook or OWA Exchange users get when their inbox is automatically refreshed.

By default, this setting is set to zero indicating that it is turned off and duplicate folder opens are sent. However, you can use the arrow controls to enable this setting and specify the amount of time to hold folder open events to determine if duplicates have occurred. Valid range is 0 - 600 seconds.

To set the duplicate folder open event setting:

Open the Administration Tasks tab.

Click Configuration.

Select Agent in the Configuration task list to display the Agent Configuration page.

Click Configurations.

On the Configuration Setup dialog, select an agent configuration from the left-hand pane.

Open the Exchange tab and set the duplicate folder open event setting as defined above.

Once you have set this setting, click OK to save your selections, close the dialog and return to the Agent Configuration page.


	NOTE: If you do not refresh the agent’s configuration, the agent automatically checks for a new agent configuration based on the polling interval setting (located on the System Settings tab of the Configuration Setup dialog). The default is every 15 minutes.
