The IDERA SQL Compliance Manager Instances view displays the status of audit activity across your SQL Server environment. Use the statistics and graphs on this view to quickly and easily identify issues so you can continue to ensure the correct level of compliance.
Available actions
Filtering
Allows you to filter the listed instances by status, instance name, status text, number of audited databases, SQL Server version, audit status, and timestamp for the last time the agent was contacted.
Add SQL Server Instance
Starts the Server Configuration wizard, allowing you to enable and configure auditing on another SQL Server instance.
Export
Allows you to export the list of audited SQL Server instances to a PDF, XLS, or XML file.
Enable Auditing / Disable Auditing
Allows you to disable auditing on the selected SQL Server instance. When you disable auditing, the SQLcompliance Agent stops collecting new event data, and stops the corresponding SQL trace. You can continue to view and report on previously audited events or archived events.
To re-enable auditing, right-click the instance from the Explore Activity tree, and then click Enable Auditing on the context menu.
Refresh

Allows you to import Event Filters previously exported from another SQL Server instance. By default, the imported Event Filters are disabled.
Edit Filter

Enable / Disable
Allows you to enable or disable the associated event filter. When an event filter is enabled, SQL Compliance Manager processes audited events using the selected criteria in this filter. If an event matches the filter criteria , SQL Compliance Manager removes the event from the audit data. Use the Audit Events tab to see the resultant set of processed events. When an event filter is disabled, you temporarily stop using the selected event filter. SQL Compliance Manager no longer uses this filter when processing events. All previously processed audit data stored in the Repository remains intact. To reinstate this filter, enable it.
Delete
Allows you to permanently delete the selected event filter. This option removes the filter from the Repository. SQL Compliance Manager will no longer use this filter when processing events. All previously processed audit data stored in the Repository remains intact.

From Existing
