Freehand Filters for WinGate History

[FLECOM]

i cant for the life of me get this to work right... ok i want to filter out all the local traffic out of my wingate history and only see the connections coming in from the net (i have various services ive set up pointing to servers behind my wingate router)

my network address is 192.168.10.0

and ive gotten this filter to work, just to make sure that wingate is at least seeing the filters

ipnumber <> "192.168.*"

gives me all my local traffic

now if i do

(ipnumber <> "192.168.*") = false

i get nothing

if i do

ipnumber > "192.168.10.254" and ipnumber < "192.168.10.1"

i also get nothing... any suggestions? ive read the help file like a million times and i still cant get this to work

I'm guessing that the problem is that ipnumber is a character field and it looks like you're treating as numeric.

If you add ipnumber <> "192.168.*" this should only show connections from subnets other than 192.168.*. Unfortunately this is not always the case, and something we will endevour to recify for the next release.

You may find however that going back in to the properties for History logging, not changing anythign, and clicking OK again, may give you a different set of results for the view filter.

I can confirm this issue, truncation of IP Adresses still doesn't work in the free-hand filter. I'm using WinGate v6.6.4

At the moment i'm entering the full ip adresses to remove from the "view" filter. This works good. But now my free-hand filter has become very large. What about the memory/cpu load consumption when the filter becomes to complex? Can i adjust/tune some parameters?

Hi

yes if you have lots of entries in your history filter, it can slow things down - I presume you're talking about the filter on what to store, or what to display?

We have removed the history database and window from WinGate 7 though.

It has been replaced by a timeline module, which shows a timeline (like a gannt chart / progress chart) of all current and historic information, with website access distilled out from the HTTP requests. It's still stored in a database, and there are view filters still.

Thank you very much for your reply. I only want to filter out some strings from the DESCRIPTION Field (View Filter) in WinGate 6. The examples in the Help file don't work :-(

Can you tell me please how to write the query in the free-hand filter field when i want not display the strings "RWI" and "URL" in the activity field.

Thanks in advance

Now i've experimented a littlebit with the filter and discovered the following:

Code: Select all

COMPNAME<> "URANUS" AND description<> "POST http://c58e602f366a8e7e9d.yacyh:9090/yacy/transferRWI.html


These strings worked perfectly for me, the solution is to enter the complete line from the Activity field between the quotation marks. But is there any way to mask/truncate the line in front of the :9090/yacy/transferRWI.html
to remove all other entries from the View-Filter when this alphanumeric stuff differs from "c58e602f366a8e7e9d.yacyh"

Thanks in advance

Hi Steve

I just checked through the code for that processor.

there's an operator called ISU ("ISU") which does a string partial match. so you'd have to do something like

Code: Select all

COMPNAME <> "URANUS" AND (description ISU "POST http://") <> TRUE

This works great!! You're a genius!!

The background: I've been blind since the age of 18 and i'm using a screenreader to read aloud all the acitivies in Windows and also in WinGate. All "floodings" in the log file are additional expenses for me and your help was a great relief to me!

Thank you very much & greetings from Germany
