- Security > Security Auditing > Event type filters > New .
Name
The Name field specifies the unique name of the event type filter.
Enabled
The state of enablement of the filter is defined by the Enable check box. This field is represented as a boolean value. A value of true specifies that the enable field associated with the audit specification in the audit.xml is set to true. It does not imply that all configured event factories and service providers will be using this filter.
Filters still need to be configured for each event factory and service provider. Filters are enabled by default during configuration. However, if a filter has the enabled checkbox set to false, the filter will not gather or report data for the events and outcomes defined in that filter.
