Exclude URL

Klein_it — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 20:18:03 GMT

Is there a way to exlude URLs from the log? In other words if there are websites, like our company website, that I don't want to see when I view the URL Filtering log, can I exclude the URL from being logged?

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure that if you add it to the "allow" list on your URL filtering profile it won't be logged.

I'm not in the office to actually test it, but we do this to restrict inbound access to our Outlook Web Access box to only OWA URL's and they don't show up in the URL filtering logs.

Any Category that you have set to "allow" will NOT log in your monitor. If you want a category to be {allowed and logged} you have to set that category to "Alert". In the profiles whether it be URL, AV, AntiSpyware, etc... "Allow" is accepting without logging, and "Alert" is accepting AND logging the acception. Block, over-ride, continue, etc. are all logged as well.
