>	Is Greater Than	Condition > value	Requires an exact match it will not match partials.	Show all activity in Firewall for non-standard ports (1024 - 65535) Server Port [s_server_port] > 1024
<	Is Less Than	Condition < value	Requires an exact match it will not match partials.	Show all instances where available memory was less than 500 MB. Server Status Events, found under System > Reports, shows memory usage. Memory Free [mem_free] < 524288000 (it is stored in the database as bytes)
>=	Is Greater Than Or Equal To	Condition >= value	Requires an exact match it will not match partials.	Show all sessions scanned by Shield where total bytes sent to destination IP is greater than 1 GB To-Server Bytes [p2s_bytes] >= 1073741824 (it is stored in the database as bytes)
<=	Is Less Than Or Equal To	Condition <= value	Requires an exact match it will not match partials.	Show all instances where Free Disk Space was less than or equal to 100 GB. Server Status Events, found under System > Reports, shows free disk space. Disk Free [disk_free] < 100000000000 (it is stored in the database as bytes)
LIKE	Is Similar to	Condition LIKE (%)value(%)	Often used in conjunction with % to wildcard the value	Show all Web Filter Events where a user accessed any part of google.com. Host [host] like %google.com
