Search bar

Enter search criteria to locate details. Search expressions are used to select/limit data points on the visualization. They can be used as a filter for the whole visualization, or as a filter for the whole dashboard.

Search expressions are not restricted to data point fields. An expression can also refer to fields associated with the device (type, IP address, groups, custom fields, and more). For example, to collect current from each outlet in a selection of Rack PDUs, use one custom field “rack:abc” with another custom field “rack:xyz”. Here are some search examples:

  • host:"ServertechPDU"
  • collectd_type:”power”
  • type_instance:”AA1”
  • collectd_type:”power” AND type_instance:”AA1”
