Filtering lists
You can filter the items that are shown in a list. Use filtering when you want to limit the rows that are shown in a list based on values in a specific column or set of columns. For example, when viewing alerts, you can filter the list so that only alerts with a value of Warning in the Severity column are shown.
- Click the Filter icon
to determine how to filter the list. The following options are available:- Filter by Default Columns
- Select this option to apply the filter to the set of the default
columns in a list. Each list contains a set of default columns on
which you can filter.
For example, in the lists of alerts on the page, select this option to apply filter text to the following columns at the same time:
Condition, Severity, Alert Category, Resource, Internal Resource, Total Occurrences, Alert Name. - Filter by a Specific Column
- Select this option to apply filter text to a specific column in a list. For example, on the page, select the Condition column if you want to apply filter text to values in that column only.
Restriction: Some columns in lists cannot be used for filtering and are not shown under the Filter by a Specific Column option. - In Filter text box
, type the text for filtering a list. You can type letters, whole words, partial words, and numbers. When filtering on certain columns, you can select from a list of values rather than typing in filter text.For example, when filtering on the Status column, you can select one of the following values as the filter text:
Error, Unreachable, Warning, Normal, Unknown. - Press Enter to apply the filter to the list.
Only rows with values that match or partially match the filter text are shown.
For example, on the page, if you select to filter on the Severity column and type critical as the filter text, only alerts that have a severity of critical and critical - acknowledged are shown in the list.
Tip: The name of a column to which a filter applies is shown next to the Filter icon.
