Improvements to Sync Tool
DNSFilter users now have the following capabilities for their AD instance:
Sync Dynamic Groups from On-premise AD and Azure AD
Sync Built-in groups from On-premise AD
Sync Security Groups from Azure AD
We also updated the User interface of the Sync tool and improved overall performance for a better user experience, including a New Sync Logs tab.
The functions labeled in the above diagram are described below:
The Sync Logs
 tab
Sync message filtering options. Customers can filter messages using full
, errors only
, and errors and warnings only
 filter options.
The Refresh Logs
 button. When engaged, it reloads the logs screen displaying the most recent logs
The Open folder with logs
 button. When engaged, it opens the window explorer with the file where logs exist on the customer’s local machine.
Viewing modes. This allows you to switch between a single and dual page view.
Search function. Enables you to perform a free text search on the log messages
Zoom slider for improving your viewing experience
A Progress bar to indicate the progress of an ongoing synchronization
Other Sync Tool improvements:

Up to 500,000 users supported

Insights default to 24 hours
Up until now, the viewable data on Insights
 defaulted to Yesterday
. This option prevented trial users and users who are still in the process of deploying DNSFilter from seeing data until a full day had passed.
With this new release, the Insights
 page data now defaults to Last 24 hours
 enabling users to view data as soon as they begin resolving traffic through DNSFIlter.
