Option

Description

Filter open/close events from these users

Enter a comma-separated list of user account names from which all file opens and closes will be ignored.  This option can be used to filter out events from backup and/or archival services by filtering on the user name under which a backup and/or archival service is running.

Filter all events from these users

Enter a comma-separated list of user account names from which all file activities will be ignored.  This option can be used to filter out events from backup and/or archival services by filtering on the user name under which a backup and/or archival service is running.

Filter events from these IP Addresses

Enter a comma-separated list of client IP addresses from which all file activities will be ignored.  This option can be used to filter out events from backup and/or archival services by filtering on the IP addresses on which a backup and/or archival service is running.

Filter events from these local processes

Enter a comma-separated list of local process names on the Agent server from which all file activities will be ignored.  This option can be used to filter out events from backup and/or archival services by filtering on the specific process names under which a backup and/or archival service is running.

Access Event Suppression Time

Enter the number of seconds to delay an open event before being processed.  Use this option to help reduce the amount of chatter generated by Windows clients when mousing over files in Windows Explorer.  The default value is -1, which will use a globally set value.  A value of 0 will allow for dynamic changes to the amount of time an open event will be delayed based on the load of the system.

Enable Local Access Events

Enable tracking of opens and closes that are performed locally on the Agent server.

Enable Remote IP Logging

Enable logging of client IP addresses for all real-time activity.

Enable Close Modify

When enabled, no modify or write events will be detected.  Instead, replication of a modified file will be performed when the file is closed.

Close Modify Extension Override

Enter a comma-separated list of exclusions for the Enable Close Modify option.  All modify/write events will be detected for these files.  This is important for those who rely on sync-on-save functionality.
