Filters↑

Local and global filter settings offer several benefits to facilitate exploration of your cryptographic assets and NHIs. They are:

  • Non-destructive: Won’t modify the underlying data.
  • Personalized: Unique to your view, without affecting others in your organization.
  • Flexible: Can be easily changed or reset at any time.

Use local and global filters to focus on a specific subset of related items. Then, apply Enrichments to bring in additional context for deeper insight and a more targeted understanding of the data.

As you explore the following sections, experiment with different filter types to learn about their impact on your data view.

Local filters↑

Local filters are found at the top of the Inventory and IT Assets tables, providing contextual filtering options to customize the data view within each table and tab. Use them to refine analysis results and facilitate more effective investigation and management.

The scope of local filters is limited to your active table view, and they solely impact the data display and export from that table. Local filters don’t influence other data, such as dashboards, priority issues, or statistics.

Tip

Local filter settings are temporary. They reset when you navigate away from the active tab, reverting to reflect current global filter settings.

Refer to the Inventory and IT Assets for details on the specific data and filters found on each tab.

Global filters↑

Global filters, found at the top of all AQG data views, have a broader impact than local filters. They:

  • Affect the data display across views.
  • Influence dashboard data and statistics.
  • Impact priority issues.

Unlike local filters, global filters persist across all your views and sessions until you modify them, remaining in effect even after logging off and back in. This provides a consistent filtering experience throughout the AQtive Guard platform.

Tip

Any time your data isn’t displaying as expected, check your global filter settings.

Global filter types↑

The following global filters are available to help you narrow down your data view across AQG:

  • Profile - View data for one or more selected profiles. This enables you to focus on the data relevant to a particular profile, to assist you in auditing for compliance or other specialized needs. Refer to Profiles for details.
  • Severity - Filter your data by issue severity. Refer to Issues to learn more.
  • Source - Select one or more data sources to filter your view to display data from the select Data source(s) or AQG scanner(s). Refer to AQtive Guard Sensors and Data sources for details on available data sources.
  • Current scans - Narrow the date and time range for your data view. This is especially useful when you want to:
    • Retrieve data from a recent scan.
    • Analyze changes or trends within a particular time frame.
    • Isolate issues or events that occurred during a specific scan.
  • Enrichments - A specialized intelligent filter, covered in detail in Enrichments.
