Create a URL and application list

Learn how to create a domain list (containing the URL) and application list for data that you want to capture or exclude on an Observers machine.

Prerequisites

This task is performed by an Administrator. Before you configure Observer activity for data collection, you create domain list and application list.

To create a domain list, perform the following steps:
  1. Log in to your Process Discovery platform as an administrator.
  2. Click your account initials in the upper-right corner and select Domain List.
  3. Click Create List.
  4. In the Name field, enter a name for the list.

    For example, enter Business applications.

  5. In the Type field, select Allow to capture URLs or Block to exclude the URLs.
    Note: The blocked URLs will not be displayed in the screen shots from the Events page.
  6. In the Domain field, enter the full URL address.

    For example, enter www.servicenow.com, www.sap.com, or www.oraclefinancials.com.

    Note: When specifying domains, you must explicitly indicate what domains to include or exclude. For example, if chase.com is blocked, the secure05c.chase.com would not be blocked. You must include secure05c.chase.com on the list.
  7. Click Add to add the specified domain to the list.
  8. Click Create List.

    You can now select this Block or Allow URL list from the Observers page for data you want to capture or exclude, for an individual observer or group observers, based on your requirements.

To create an application list, perform the following steps:

  1. Click your account initials in the upper-right corner and select Application List.
  2. Log in to your Process Discovery platform as an administrator.
  3. Click Create List.
  4. In the Name field, enter a name for the list.

    For example, enter Business applications.

  5. In the Type field, select Allow or Block from the drop-down.
  6. In the Application field, select an application from the drop-down or enter an application in the text field.
  7. Click Add to add the application to the list.
  8. Click Create List.

    You can now select this Block or Allow Application list from the Observers page for data you want to capture or exclude, for an individual observer or group observers, based on your requirements.

    Note: To create a default Block and Allow URL or Application list for all new observers in a tenant, click your account initials in the upper-right corner and select Manage Account. In the Observer Settings section, update the URL or Application Block and Allow List.
