Configure network share filters
The following content provides a list of acceptable network paths that you can use to filter file copies to network shares and file copies from network shares to local drives. The filters you use to monitor network share copies are not valid when used with other monitor channels, so you must create them separately.
As a general guideline, path filters must begin with
\\
and end with \*
.Add each filter to a new line in the field. If you separate filters using comas [,] or semi-colons [;], the system ignores the filter.
The following characters invalidate filters:
- Question marks [?]
- Forward slash [/]
- Double forward slashes [//]
- Double backward slashes [\\]Double backward slashes can only be used at the beginning of the path.
- Less than [<]
- Greater than [>]
- Vertical bar [|]
- Quotes ["]
Network share | Description | Valid paths | Invalid characters and paths |
|---|---|---|---|
General | For IP-based filters, paths and asterisks [*] can be used for wild-card matching. Add an asterisk for each octet. Paths that are specified in Windows UNC format are handled automatically for Mac Endpoints. | IP-based filter: \\10.211.*.*\path\* Specific shared drive filter (in this case the c drive): \\10.211.*.*\c$\* | \\10.211.*.*\path\\* \\10.211.*.*\path/* //10.211.*.*/path/* \\10.211.201.*\path\ |
RDP share | Paths must begin with \\rdp , \\RDP , or \\tsclient . | \\rdp\e\* \\RDP\c\testshare\* \\tsclient\e\sharedPath\* | \\rdp\* |
WebDAV | Web-based shares are accessible from browsers and file systems. For example, SharePoint shares can be mounted to drives. In these instances, the DavWWWRoot portion is not visible in Windows Explorer, but you must append this string to paths to filter for the WebDAV protocol. | \\10.211.*.*\DavWWWRoot\* | \\10.211.*.*\* |
