Filter Day & Hour Configuration

In addition to the General Filter Options you can also define the day or time a filter is active. If, for example, you are not interested in receiving event records from the security event log during the day, then you can disable the filter during certain hours of the day.

There are 7 rows for each weekday and 24 buttons for each hour of the day, starting with 0. A blue button means that the filter is active, whereas white buttons mean that the filter will be inactive during this particular hour. Filters that are not active 24x7 are shown with a small clock in the tree.

In the example below the filter will be active every hour on Saturday and Sunday, but inactive from 8am to 6pm during the weekdays, Monday through Friday.

Applying a filter to the "nth" day of the month

By default, the above hour/day schedule is active every week of the month. The schedule can be restricted to only apply on every nth week of the month by changing the "Apply To" setting. For example, the schedule below would restrict a filter to only be active every 2nd Tuesday of the month. This could be useful for an exclusion filter which excludes certain events during a monthly patch schedule for example.
