Manage Filters

How to Get There

On the Manage AWS Cloud Service Accounts screen, click (Edit Filters).

What it Does

Filters allow you to identify the server instances you would like to add automatically during polling and how they are mapped to Groups and Managed Servers within Security Auditor. It does this by creating Managed Servers for the discovered instances.

The information provided here allows you to:

• Identify a subset of servers as part of a policy group.
• Create dynamic names/descriptions used for the Managed Server definitions.
• Customize the attributes that are normally available for the "Add Managed Server" interactive process.
