The Network Security console provides a way to adjust the view of event types
detected by the sensors by searching for event types that match specific
characteristics. If an event type is a known characteristic of your network, you
can instruct Symantec Network Security not to alert on it by setting logging
rules.

The Network Security console provides search functionality so that you can
focus the view on a manageable subset of possible event types with specific
characteristics. The policy still detects and acts on the full list of event types;
but you have a shorter list to sift through as you decide what to block and what
to log. This section describes how to narrow or widen the view by searching for
event types that match certain characteristics.
