### Filters Wizard

The Filters Wizard enables you to specify which signatures to display in Signature Lists.

To open the Filters Wizard, click the Signature Explorer menu icon and select the Filters menu option.

The Filters Wizard contains the following components that determine which signatures are displayed:

- Name Filter Pattern - a text box that enables you to enter a search pattern for the signature names you want to select. For example:

- SSL* selects all signatures whose first three letters are SSL Please note that Guardian uses 128 bit open source encryption for SSL.
- *8.?* selects all the signatures relating to WebLogic Server Version 8

Whether the names you select are displayed or filtered out depends on the following radio button settings.

- Show matching names - a radio button that causes the signatures matching the Name Filter Pattern text box to be displayed rather than filtered out.
- Hide matching names - a radio button that causes the signatures matching the Name Filter Pattern text box to be filtered out rather than displayed.
- Select the severity levels to include - a check box for each severity level: Critical, Warning, or Informational that further refines which signatures are displayed. Whatever the results are of the Name Filter Pattern text box and the Show matching names and Hide matching names radio buttons, only the signatures matching the severity levels selected in these check boxes are displayed.
