Overview
GFI EventsManager enables you to build custom queries, using the Edit Query Restriction dialog. You can refer to the article Using Edit Query Restriction Dialog for more information.
Queries are instructions GFI EventsManager sends to the database backend when storing and retrieving data. They are also used to configure rules to trigger actions and alerts when certain attribute values are detected.
This article describes different scenarios using the Edit Query Restriction Dialog for granular configuration.
