Filtering 'Configuration Changes' Logs


Comodo Client Security allows you to create custom views of all logged events according to user defined criteria. You can use the following types of filters:
  • Preset Time Filters
  • Advanced Filters
Preset Time Filters

Clicking on the handle at the bottom enables you to filter the log entries for a selected time period:




  • Today - Displays all logged events for today.
  • Current Week - Displays all logged events during the current week. (The current week is calculated from the Sunday to Saturday that holds the current date.)
  • Current Month - Displays all logged events during the month that holds the current date.
  • Entire Period - Displays every event logged since Comodo Client Security was installed. (If you have cleared the log history since installation, this option shows all logs created since that clearance).
  • Custom Filter - Enables you to select a custom period by choosing the 'From' and 'To' dates under 'Please Select Period'
Alternatively, you can right click inside the log viewer module and choose the time period.



    Advanced Filters

    You can further refine the displayed events according to specific filters. Following are available filters for 'Configuration Changes' logs and their meanings:

    • Action: Displays only the selected type of configuration change(s) like change in options, addition of objects, strings and so on.
    • Modifier:Displays only the configuration changes effected by the selected entity like the user, response to Antivirus or Advanced protection alerts Alerts and so on.
    • Name: Displays only the configuration change with the name entered as search criteria.
    • Object: Displays only the configuration changes on addition or removal of selected objects

    To configure Advanced Filters for Configuration Changes Logs

    1. Click the funnel button  from the title bar or right click inside the log viewer module and choose 'Show Advanced Filter' from the context sensitive menu.

    2. Select the filter from the 'Advanced Filter' drop-down and click 'Add' to apply the filter.




    You can chose the category of filter from the 'Advanced Filter' drop-down. Each of these categories can be further refined by either selecting or deselecting specific filter parameters or by the user typing a filter string in the field provided. Following are the options available in the 'Add' drop down menu:

    1. Action: The 'Action' option allows you to filter the log entries based on the actions executed like change in options, addition of objects, strings and so on. Selecting the 'Action' option displays a drop-down box and a set of specific filter parameters that can be selected or deselected.




    1. Select 'Equal' or 'Not Equal' option from the drop-down box.

    For example, if you choose Equal in the drop-down and select 'Object added' checkbox, then, only the log entries with the value 'Object added' in the 'Action' column will be displayed.
    1. Modifier: The 'Modifier' option allows you to filter the log entries based on the entity that is responsible for the configuration change. It can be the user or the response given to an alert. Selecting the 'Modifier' option displays a drop-down box and a set of specific filter parameters that can be selected or deselected.



    1. Select 'Equal' or 'Not Equal' option from the drop-down box. 'Not Equal' will invert your selected choice.

    2. Now select the checkboxes of the specific entities that has effected the change, to refine your search. The parameters available are:

    • User
    • Auto Learn
    • Antivirus Alert
    • Firewall Alert
    • Advanced Protection Alert
    • Containment Alert
    • Scheduler
    • COMODO
    • Administrator

    For example, if you have selected Equal in the drop-down and selected 'Antivirus Alert' checkbox, then, only log entries related to changes in response to Antivirus Alerts will be displayed.

    1. Name: The 'Name' option allows you to filter log entries by entering the name of the parameter changed. Selecting the 'Name' option displays a drop-down field and text entry field.




    a) Select 'Contains' or 'Does Not Contain' from the drop-down menu.

    b) Enter the type of change in the text box.
    iv. Object: The 'Object' option enables you to filter the log entries related to the objects modified during the configuration change. Selecting the 'Object' option displays a drop down menu and the objects of CCS configuration, that can be selected or deselected.



    1. Select 'Equal' or 'Not Equal' option from the drop down menu. 'Not Equal' will invert your selected choice.

    2. Now select the check-boxes of the specific objects as filter parameters to refine your search. Scroll down the window to see all the parameters options.

    For example, if you have chosen 'Equal' from the drop-down and selected 'Firewall: Mode ' checkbox, only the log entries related to the changes in Firewall mode will be displayed.


    Note: More than one filter can be added in the 'Advanced Filter' pane. After adding one filter type, select the next filter type and click 'Add'. You can also remove a filter type by clicking the 'X' button at the top right of the filter pane.

    • Click 'Apply' for the filters to be applied to the Configuration Changes log viewer. Only those entries selected based on your set filter criteria will be displayed in the log viewer.
