Items can be listed according to the parameters contained in filter:

path: folder (String: /myfolder/)
item: (MonitorItem ID describing a folder)
tag: (One or more space separated tags from the following list)
- detected: files flagged by at least one antivirus engine.
- new-detections: files that have been flagged by at least one antivirus engine and were previously undetected.
- decreasing-detections: files flagged by at least one antivirus engine that have less detections with respect to their previous analysis.
- increasing-detections: files flagged by at least one antivirus engine that have more detections with respect to their pervious analysis.
- solved-detections: files that are no longer detected by any antivirus engine and were previously detected.
- swapped-detections: files that are detected by the same number of antivirus engines as their previous analysis but either the set of engines detecting the file or their detection labels have changed.
- [engine_name]: files detected by the given antivirus engine.
