Adjusting the view of event types The Network Security console provides a way to adjust the view of event types detected by the sensors by searching for event types that match specific characteristics. If an event type is a known characteristic of your network, you can instruct Symantec Network Security not to alert on it by setting logging rules. This section describes the following topics: ■ Searching to create a subset of event types ■ Adjusting the view by columns ■ Viewing event type details Searching to create a subset of event types The Network Security console provides search functionality so that you can focus the view on a manageable subset of possible event types with specific characteristics. The policy still detects and acts on the full list of event types; but you have a shorter list to sift through as you decide what to block and what to log. This section describes how to narrow or widen the view by searching for event types that match certain characteristics.
