Search and filtering

Use search and filtering to view Inventory-based filtered information.

What is context-based search?

Context-based search shows resources in the context of what is being searched. For example, if you were to select AWS instead of Azure, a subsequent search would give results for only your AWS cloud resources but not your Azure cloud resources.

Context-based search is available in these pages: Inventory, Traffic, Map, Application Inventory tab, Application > Traffic tab.

Context-based search limitations
  • The Inventory page search feature accepts limited types of filters (in other words, these search values narrow down all inventory supplied metadata values):

    • Cloud

    • Account Name

    • Account ID

    • Region

    • Resource Type

    • Resource Group

    • Resource Name

    • Resource State

    • VPC/VNET ID

    • Subnet ID

    • Cloud Tags

    • Labels

    • Categories

  • CSP id, VPC id, VNET id, subnet id,, cloud tag, Resource Group, and Resource Name metadata types are supplied by Inventory, but are not accepted as metadata list filters, so the selection of these values has no impact on context-based search

  • Account IDs are supplied by integrations, and support only cloud context

  • Labels are supplied by the labeling service and support no context

What is filter-based search?

Filter-based search provides a quick way to view filtered policy information on the Policies, Onboarding, Application Discovery, Tag to Label Mapping pages and related tabs.

Policies page tabs

The following example shows what is available on the Policies page. Other pages will offer filters relevant to the context of those pages. They are too numerous to list here.

  • Organization Policies, which has the following filter terms:

    • Name, Status, Provision Status

  • Application Policies, which has the following filter terms:

    • Name, Environment, Status

  • Services, which has the following filter terms:

    • Name, Ports, Protocol

  • IP Lists, which has the following filter terms:

    • Name, Provision Status
