The User Investigation and Host Investigation dashboards only appear when a search is conducted. This can be done by clicking a hyperlink within the Username or Destination IP columns of a table card. Alternatively, enter the complete user name or host IP Address in the Search box on the right side of the navigation bar.

Table Card Features​

Within the dashboards are several cards with a tabular format. Each of these cards has the following features:

  • The application loads only five pages of data at a time. Applying the Search or Sort features or moving beyond the five ‘loaded’ pages will result in a “Processing” banner being temporarily displayed over the table while the server is directly queried for the necessary data.

  • Search data entries for the Username, Destination IP, and File Path columns by typing in the Search box in the upper-right corner of the card:

    • Entries with a match remain in the table, and the application filters out all non-matching entries.
    • Total number of entries “Showing” will adjust for the filtered total.
    • Search can also apply to the Operation column, but only for exact matches.
  • Sort can be applied to one column at a time by clicking on the column header you want.

  • Show 10, 25, 100, or All entries in the table. Only visible entries can be exported.

  • Result data visible within the table page displayed can be exported from the dashboard:

    • Copy – Copy to clipboard to paste to another application
    • CSV – Export to a Comma Separated Value file
    • Excel – Export to an Excel Workbook file
  • Print – Send displayed table to printer
