Wildcards in Log Filtering

[LeighV]

Hi All,

I'm trying to figure if if I can use wild cards when constructing a filter in Monitor -> URL Filtering.  I want to get all records that contain '@*.domain.com'.

My current filter is ( url contains '@staff.domain.com' ) what I want is ( url contains '@*domain.com' )

Can this be done?

thanks

Leigh

Hey Leigh,

Sure you can do this in the URL log, but make sure you put the '.' in. So your query would look like this:

(url contains '*.domain.com')

hope this helps,

Ben

Hey thanks Ben, but unfortunately this is not returning any data??  My query is ( url contains '*.domain.com' )

but is not returning anything, however if I do ( url contians 'staff.domain.com' ) I get the data I expect.

Not sure why this is.

Hi Leigh,

I don't have a device at hand to test this at the moment unfortunately, it was my understanding that this query would work. Do you get any results when running  a custom report with the query?

thanks,

Ben

Ben,

No I get the same result even in a report.

Hi Leigh,

I've had a chance to have a go myself, looks this you can't do this unfortunately. My advice would be to add all the sites you want to search for to a custom URL filtering category, that way you can do a search on the category. You can use wildcards in custom categories.

Regards,

Ben

I think the best you'll be able to do is this:

(url contains '@') and (url contains .domain.com)
