Managing Filters

You can create different filters to let SA show the events you expect. For example, you can create a filter by adding the product name and resource type, such as Host Security Service and ECS instance. Then you can select this filter to search events meeting both of those two conditions.

Currently, the following conditions and attributes can be added to a filter:
  • Subject: indicates the title of the event. You can enter keywords. By default, Subject is selected.
  • Severity: indicates severity of the event. The options are Critical, High, Medium, Low, and Informational.
  • Category: indicates the category of the event. The options include Threat alarm, Vulnerability, Violation, Risk, Public opinion, Security notice, and Compliance check.
  • Status: indicates the processing status of the event. The options are Unhandled, Ignored, and Handled Offline.
  • Resource Name: indicates the name of the resource for which an event is generated. Enter the full name of the resource.
  • Resource Type: indicates the type of the resource for which an event is generated. The options are ECS instance, VPC, Security Group, EIP, Disk, and Others.
  • Company Name: indicates the name of the company from whose product the event is reported. Enter the full name of the company.
  • Product Name: indicates the name of the product from which the event is reported. Enter the full product name.
