# Filtering Events

Filter Nightfall Events based on parameters.

You can filter Events based on several parameters, to view violations that occurred:

* During specific time periods. You can filter based on pre-set time ranges of last 7 days, 30 days, 90 days and 180 days, 
* Integration - the application that is being monitored by Nightfall.
* Detector -  the detector that you selected as part of your policies to monitor.
* Likelihood - the confidence level of the detection by Nightfall.
* Status - the current current status of the violation
* User - the user associated to the violation

To filter violations, 

1. Select a Filter.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.nightfall.ai/dashboard/sdp_events/filtering.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
