SurfControl Web Filter v5.5

Monitored data is where you see who has been using the internet, the sites they have visited, and the 
categories those sites have been assigned to in the SurfControl Internet Threat Database.

The central pane consists of 3 tabs for Monitored Data:

•

Users - Those employees detected by Web Filter.

•

Destinations - Where those employees have been visiting on the Internet.

•

Categories - Destinations visited are categorized, either by the standard categories as supplied by the 
SurfControl Internet Threat Database, or any custom or manual categories you may create.

In the three Monitored Data tabs, the default view is restricted to the first 5000 entries in the summary 
panels. If you have less than 5000 entries, these will be automatically sorted on the first column in the row 
(User, Destination or Category), showing the latest entry at the top.

If you have more than 5000 entries (you will see a caution if you exceed this limit), the first 5000 entries are 
shown based on the Last Access information. To change the default number of rows:

1

Close the SurfControl Web Filter Manager application.

2

Locate the file SurfControl.Application.exe.config.

In a default installation this is located in C:\Program Files\SurfControl\Web Filter.

3

Open SurfControl.Application.exe.config with Notepad.

4

Locate the line: 

<

add key="SurfControl.Plugins.WF.Monitor.DataSetFillCount" 

value="5000"/>

5

Change the value="5000" setting to the required value.

6

Save the SurfControl.Application.exe.config file.

7

Open the SurfControl Web Filter Manager application.

Filters are available for all Monitored Data tabs. You can filter by the following options:

•

Show All (default view)

•

Access  Date

Increasing the number of rows may have a significant impact on the performance of the 

Web Filter server.
