Find a host

To find a specific host, you have the following options:

• Open the Topology page, then click the name of the host you’re interested in. If you have many host and it’s difficult to find the one you need, use filtering, or grouping.

  

• Open the Hosts page and find the host you’re interested in.

  

  To find or display only specific hosts, you can use the filter bar.

  • Basic Search mode searches in the values of the following fields of the host: Name, IP Address, GUID, FQDN, and the labels of the host.

    Basic Search is case insensitive. Adding multiple keywords searches for matches in any of the previous fields. This is equivalent to the @ANY =* keyword1 AND @ANY =* keyword2 AQL query.

  • AQL Query Search mode allows you to search in specific labels of the hosts.

    It also makes more complex filtering possible, using the Equals, Contains (partial match), and Match (regular expression match) operators. Note that:

    • To execute the search, click Search, or hit ESC then ENTER.
    • Axoflow Console autocompletes the built-in and custom labels and field names, as well as their most frequent values, but doesn’t autocomplete labels and variables created by data parsing and processing steps.
    • You can use the AND and OR operators to combine expressions, and also parenthesis if needed.

  You can also select one or more features (for example, label.location) to group hosts by in the Group by field. For details on how grouping works, see Grouping hosts.
