Filters

STAR allows you to define filters. There are two kinds of filters: Filter for applications and filter for URLs.

Application filter

Filter for an application is a regular expression that defines a file name (including path) of a task that should not be monitored.
For example:
If you have the C:\PROGRAM FILES\NETSCAPE\NETSCAPE.EXE file added to the filter, all activities of this task will not be monitored.
To add a file to the filter list you have to click on the Add button and select the executable file.

URL filter

All URLs that are defined in the URL filter will not be monitored. You can also use wild-card chars.
For example:

Using a wild-card char (*):
http://www.stealthactivityreporter.com*
All URLs that start with http://www.stealthactivityreporter.com will not be monitored. (e.g. http://www.stealthactivityreporter.com/order.htm will not be monitored)

Without using a wild-card char:
http://www.stealthactivityreporter.com
Only the URL http://www.stealthactivityreporter.com will not be monitored. (http://www.stealthactivityreporter.com/order.htm will be monitored)

Wild-card chars:
* - Any set of symbols (even null).

To add a URL to the filter list you have to click on the Add button. The Add URL dialog will be displayed.

Simply select or enter the URL and click on the OK button.
