Create custom searches

The following scenarios explain how to use the What tab to create custom searches.

 
* 
NOTE: You can use the other search properties tabs to define additional criteria:
•
Who - allows you to search for events generated by a specific user, computer or group
•
Where - allows you to search for events captured by a specific agent or within a specific domain or site
•
When - allows you to search for events that occurred within a specific date/time range
•
Origin - allows you to search for events that originated from a specific workstation or server
To search for changes to a specific Active Directory container:
1
Open the Searches page.
2
In the explorer view (left pane), expand and select the folder where you want to save your search.
Selecting the Private folder creates a search that only you can run and view, whereas selecting the Shared folder creates a search which can be run and viewed by all users.
3
Click New to enable the Search Properties tabs across the bottom of the Searches page.
4
On the Info tab, enter a name and description for the search.
5
On the What tab, expand Add and select Subsystem | Active Directory.
* 
NOTE: You can use Add with Events | Subsystem | Active Directory (instead of Add | Subsystem | Active Directory) to search for an entity that already has an event associated with it in the database.
6
On the Add Active Directory Container dialog, select one of the following options to define the scope of coverage:
•
All Active Directory Objects - select to include all objects. (Default when the Add tool bar button is used).
•
This Object - select to include the selected objects only. (Default when the Add With Events tool bar button is used).
•
This Object and Child Objects Only - select to include the selected objects and its direct child objects.
•
This Object and All Child Objects - select to include the selected objects and all subordinate objects (in all levels).
•
Members of this group - select this option to show changes made to users in a specified group. Nested groups are not supported.
* 
NOTE: You cannot exclude selections or use the *Like wildcard option when the scope is specified as Members of this group.
7
By default, All Actions is selected meaning that all the activity associated with the object generate an audited event. However, you can clear the All Actions option and select individual options. The options available are:
•
All Actions - select to include when any of the following actions occur (Default)
•
Add Attribute - select to include when an attribute is added
•
Delete Attribute - select to include when an attribute is deleted
•
Modify Attribute - select to include when an attribute is modified
•
Rename Object - select to include when an object is renamed
•
Add Object - select to include when an object is added
•
Delete Object - select to include when an object is deleted
•
Move Object - select to include when an object is moved
•
Other - select to include other types of activity against the selected object
8
By default, All Transports is selected indicating that all Active Directory events regardless of the transport protocol used are included in the search. However, you can clear the All Transports option and select individual options. The transport options available are:
•
All Transports - select to include LDAP operation or LDAP queries regardless of the transport protocol used (Default)
•
SSL/TLS - select to include LDAP operation or LDAP queries that are secured using SSL or TLS technology
•
Kerberos- select to include LDAP operation or LDAP queries that are signed using Kerberos-based encryption
•
Simple Bind - select to include LDAP operation or LDAP queries that are secured using simple bind authentication (neither SSL\TLS or Kerberos used)
•
Port - select to identify a specific port used for communication
* 
NOTE: When you clear the All Transports check box and select both the SSL/TLS and Kerberos check boxes, only AD queries using both of these transport protocols will be included in the search results.
9
When a scope other than All Active Directory Objects is selected, the directory object picker is enabled allowing you to select the objects to include in the search definition.
Use either the Browse or Search page to search your environment to locate and select the Active Directory objects to include. Use the Options page to view or modify the search options to be used to retrieve directory objects.
If required, use the Forest drop-down box to select in which forest the objects reside. Foreign agent forests may require foreign forests credentials which can be entered on the Credentials Required dialog.
You can also select Import Objects to import a .csv (comma separated value) file containing a list of directory objects. Using this list, you can specify object names and optional values for the search criteria. You can use the * wildcard character to match any string of zero or more characters when specifying the Name values.
* 
NOTE: For optimal performance, do not include more than 1000 objects in your import file.
The import will fail and an error message will be displayed if any errors are detected with the column names or specified values.
* 
NOTE: Column names and values must be separated with a comma.
* 
NOTE: If an optional column name is not specified, then the default All is used for the value for each object. The default All is also used if the optional column is specified, but the value is empty. Mandatory Name values cannot be empty.

Custom Active Directory Object Auditing

•
Introduction
•
Active Directory Auditing page
•
Custom Active Directory object auditing
•
Active Directory event logging
•
Active Directory Auditing wizard

Introduction

By default, Change Auditor audits the Enterprise for all Active Directory events. To see a complete list of the Active Directory events that are audited by default, go to the Audit Events table (Administration Task->Auditing->Audit Events), and sort by license.

Using the Active Directory Auditing wizard, you can define additional custom object classes to be audited, as well as specify where you want to conduct the audit (for example, enterprise, or individual object).

 

Active Directory Auditing page

The Active Directory Auditing page is used to define additional Active Directory custom events that you want to audit. The page is displayed when you select Active Directory from the Auditing task list in the navigation pane of the Administration Tasks tab. Custom Active Directory events will contain the word ‘custom’ in their facility name, for example “Custom User Monitoring”. By default user, group and computer object classes are selected on this page.

 
* 
NOTE: Authorization to use the administration tasks on the Administrations Tasks tab is defined using the Application User Interface page under the Configuration task list. If you are denied access to the tasks on this page, refer to the Change Auditor User Guide for more information on how to gain access.
* 
NOTE: If you receive a message stating that the client is unable to acquire exclusive access to object monitoring, there is another user using the Active Directory Auditing page and therefore, all of the tool bar buttons will be deactivated preventing you from making any changes.

The Active Directory Auditing page contains an expandable view of the Active Directory objects selected for auditing. Initially, the list box will contain an entry for auditing all user, computer and group object classes in the entire enterprise.

To add an object to this list, use the Add tool bar button (or to add multiple objects, expand the Add tool bar button and select the Select Multiple Objects option). Once added, the following information will be displayed:

Object
Displays the distinguished name of object.
Status
Indicates whether the auditing for a selected object is enabled or disabled.
Scope
Displays the scope of coverage:
•
Forest
•
Object
•
One Level
•
SubTree
Object Class
This field is used for filtering data.
If the view is not already expanded, click the expansion box to the left of an object to expand the view to display the object classes and monitored attributed to be audited in the object.
Object Class
Displays the object class being audited (such as computer, user, and group.)
Monitored Attributes
Displays the number of schema attributes selected for auditing by Change Auditor for each object class listed.
 
* 
NOTE: Attribute auditing is specified using the AD Attribute Auditing page.
