matched_action | integer | A reference to the ID of the channel in the session where the event occurred. | |
matched_content | text | The content that occurred in the session and triggered the alert. Note that this value contains the context of the match as well. For example, if a Content Policy triggers an alert if a user types the sudo command, then the psm.alerts.matched_content value contains the entire command line, including the command prompt, for example, myuser@examplehost:~$ man sudo | |
matched_regexp | text | The regular expression (match field) of the Content Policy that matched a part of the content and triggered the alert. For details, see Real-time content monitoring with Content Policies. | |

You can use the ?limit option to change the number of items displayed at once. The default limit is 500.
?limit=1000
To navigate beyond the displayed set, use the offset option.
You can use the ?offset option to navigate data sets that extend beyond the display limit. The default value of the offset is 0, this is the initially displayed set. To move to other items beyond the initial set, increase the value to a number that corresponds to the item where you want to start displaying results from.
Example: the display limit is the default 500, and the number of sessions is 1012. The initial 500 sessions are listed at:
?offset=0
To view sessions from 501 to 1000, change the offset to 501:
?offset=501
To display the remaining 12 sessions, change the offset to 1001:
?offset=1001
Sorting and filtering alerts is currently not supported. The items are automatically sorted by the record ID. The response includes every available field.
The api/audit/sessions/<session-id>/events endpoint lists the events extracted from a session (if any). Events are available only if the session is indexed. For details on configuring indexing, see Local services: configuring the indexer.

You can filter events at the /api/audit/sessions/<session-id>/events endpoint. Use the ?q option to filter the list using one or more properties (elements) of the sessions.
?q=content:sudo
You can escape special characters using the backslash character.
?q=content:\"Copying Files\"
To add multiple elements to the filter, you can use the AND, AND NOT, and OR operators.
content:ls AND content:cp AND NOT content:mv
You can create groups using () (parentheses).
?q=(content:rm OR content:mv) AND channels_id:5
You can also use () (parentheses) to add multiple possible values for a property.
?q=content:(sudo rm)
You can use the * (asterisk) and ? (question mark) wildcards for string-type values.
?q=content:?dmi*
You can define ranges using [] (brackets) or {} (braces) and the TO operator. This only works for numeric (int) values.
[ means equal or higher than the following value
] means equal or lower than the preceding value
{ means higher than the following value
}means lower than the preceding value
For example, the following range resolves to 2:
?q=channels_id:{1 TO 3}
You can also use the * (asterisk) wildcard in the range.
?q=channels_id:[* TO 5]
Note that not all connection data can be used for filtering. The available elements are:
channels_id
Integer, the channel in the session where the event occurred.
content
Text, the event that occurred in the session.
record_id
Integer, the identifier of the event in the session.
time
String, the timestamp when the event occurred.
type
String, the type of the event:
command: A command entered in SSH or Telnet.
screen.content: Screen content.
screen.creditcard: Credit card numbers detected. Displayed only as an alert, not visible in the events.
screen.windowtitle: The title of the window in graphic protocols.
