Filter Website Filtering Logs

 Comodo Internet 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 the 'Filter by Date and Time' button at the top enables you to filter the logs for a selected time period:

• No filtering - Display every event logged since Comodo Internet Security was installed. If you have cleared the log history since installation, this option shows all logs created since that clearance.

• Within last – Show all logs from a certain point in the past until the present time.

• Except last – Exclude all logs from a certain point in the past until the present time.

• Today - Display all logged events for today.

• Current Week - All logged events during the current week. The current week is calculated as the previous Sunday to the next Saturday.

• Current Month - Display all events logged during this month.

• Custom Filter - Enables you to select a custom period by specifying 'From' and 'To' dates.

Alternatively, you can right click inside the log viewer module and choose the time period

Advanced Filters

Having chosen a preset time filter from the top panel, you can further refine the displayed events according to certain filtering parameters. The following filters are available  for Website Filtering logs:

• Website - Displays only events that involve a specific website.

• Category Name - Displays events that involved websites which are covered by a filtering category.

• Action - Displays only events that involved a specific action.

To configure Filters for Website Filtering Events

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

The 'Advanced Filter' interface for Website Filtering Events will open.

 

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

There are 3 categories of filters that you can add. Each of these categories can be further refined by selecting certain parameters or by typing a filter string in the field provided. You can add and configure any number of filters in the 'Advanced Filter' dialog.

Following are the options available in the 'Advanced Filter' drop-down:

1. Website: Adding the 'Website' option displays a drop-down menu and text entry field.

a) Select 'Equal' or 'Not Equal' option from the drop-down menu.

b) Enter the website address in part or full, to filter the logs involving the website.

For example, if you choose 'Equal' option from the drop-down and enter the phrase 'facebook.com' in the text field, then all events that involve the website 'facebook.com' in the 'Website' column will be displayed. If you choose 'Not Equal' option from the drop-down and enter the phrase 'facebook.com' in the text field, then all events that do not involve 'facebook.com' will be displayed.

2. Category: Selecting the 'Category' option displays a drop down menu and text entry field.

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

b) Pick the filter category. Events related to websites in the category will be shown in the results.

For example, if you choose 'Contains' and enter the phrase 'Malware Sites' in the text field, then all events involving websites in the 'Malware Sites' category will be displayed. If you choose 'Does Not Contain' and enter 'Malware Sites' in the text field, then all events that do not involve sites in the 'Malware Sites' category will be displayed.

iii. Action: Selecting the 'Action' option displays a drop-down menu and a set of actions 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 filter parameters to refine your search. The parameters available are:

• Allow

• Block

• Ask

For example, if you choose 'Equal' and 'Block', then only events where a website was blocked will be displayed. If you choose 'Not Equal' and select 'Block' then CIS will show all events except those where a website was blocked. You can select more than one check box options from this interface, as required.

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 Website Filtering log viewer. Only those 'Website Filtering' log entries selected based on your filter criteria will be displayed in the log viewer.

• To clear filters, open the 'Advanced Filter' pane and remove filters one-by-one by by clicking the 'X' button on the right. Click 'Apply'.
