To filter nodes and links, you can choose the relevant period of time on the time scale. The time scale is displayed in the lower part of the Network interactions map tab of the Network map section.
The time scale contains the following items:
Time scale start date and time.
Periods when events with scores of 4.0 and above were registered. These periods are displayed as red strips in the lower part of the time scale. The periods are not displayed if a duration of more than seven days is defined for the time scale.
Filtering period. This period is displayed as a yellow band lined with buttons for moving the boundaries.
Chart of the volume of traffic processed by the application. The chart is not displayed if a duration of more than seven days is defined for the time scale.
End of the time scale. Depending on the arrangement of the filtering period, the end of the time scale is displayed as a date and time (if the date and time are defined) or as a Now link.
The following types of filtering periods are provided:
Period correlated to the current moment. The right-side boundary of this period corresponds to the time scale boundary designating the current moment in time.
Period not correlated to the current moment. This type of period may be arranged in any part of the time scale.
To configure object filtering by a period correlated to the current moment:
Click Now on the right of the time scale. This button is not displayed if the period is already correlated to the current moment.
If it is necessary to specify a different period duration, perform one of the following actions:
Move the left border of the yellow band of the period to the necessary position (the maximum duration of the period is 7 days).
Open the configuration window by clicking the button above the yellow band of the period, select the Anchor to boundary check box, select the necessary duration (Hour, Day, or 7 days), and click OK.
The network interactions map shows only the nodes and links for which communications were detected since the beginning of the specified period up to the current moment.
To configure filtering by a period not correlated to the current moment:
If the necessary period is not within the time scale, change the values of the date and time for the start and/or end of the time scale:
To change the data and time of the start of the time scale, open the window by clicking the link in the left part of the time scale and select one of the following options:
Day.
7 days.
30 days.
Specify a date. For this option, specify a date and time in the opened field.
To change the date and time of the end of the time scale, open the window by clicking the link in the right part of the time scale and select one of the following options:
Now.
Specify a date. For this option, specify a date and time in the opened field.
Specify the necessary period. To do so, do one of the following:
Use the mouse to move the period to the relevant place on the time scale.
Move one or both of the borders of the yellow band of the period to the necessary part of the time scale (the maximum duration of the period is 7 days).
Open the configuration window by clicking the button above the yellow band of the period, select the necessary duration (Hour, Day, or 7 days) and click OK.
If a period is automatically anchored to the current moment (when you move the period to the right-most position, the Now button on the right of the time scale is no longer displayed), disable automatic anchoring of the period to the time scale boundary. To do so, open the configuration window by clicking the button above the yellow band of the period, clear the Anchor to boundary check box, and click OK.
