Setting Change Report Filters
Using the Inventory Change Filter dialog box, you can select the attributes that you do not wish to log
using Change Audit. The history of inventory changes are logged by and viewed through Change Audit.
The attributes that you select in the Inventory Change Filter dialog box, are monitored for Inventory
changes like other variables. However, they are not logged using Change Audit. Consequently, these
changes are not displayed in your inventory change reports.
For example, for Stack devices, if you do not want to log the operational status for changes in Change
Audit, select the Operational Status option in the Inventory Change Filter dialog box.
