Search Syntax

You can enter free-text criteria to filter lists.

Some lists (such as hosts, connections, monitoring, and events) support searching by specific criteria, with syntax like the following:

​​(criteria=value)​​
​
You can include multiple criteria in a search:
​
​​(criteria1=value1)(criteria2=value2)...​​
​
You can specify multiple values either by repeating a criteria with different values, or by delimiting the values with a pipe:
​
​​(criteria1=value1)(criteria1=value2)​​
​
​​(criteria1=value1|value2)​​
​
Use backslash to escape parentheses and other reserved characters in values:
​
​​(criteria=value with \(parentheses\))​​
​
Search examples:

• Find connections with the tag ​Name=Example Host​​ - (Tag=Name\=Example Host)

• Find host entries containing both "test" and SSH service(s) - test (Service=SSH)

• Find hosts with SSH or RDP services - (Service=SSH|RDP)
