Using Global Search

Overview

Global Search is a powerful tool accessible from anywhere in your Cloud 66 Dashboard. It searches across all your applications, servers, services, containers and more across your entire account.

Basic Search

You can type any word or phrase in the search bar at the top of each page to start your search. By default this will search the following:

Applications
Servers
Services
Containers
Firewall Rules
Environment Variables
Deployments

All queries can be a full or partial string. So both awesome and awes will find all entities with awesome somewhere.

Advanced Search

You can narrow the search down with the "advanced search syntax". The general search syntax is key:value. This means you can run queries like this:

type:server

Global search supports the generic search directives:

tag Search the tags
type Search by type. Valid values are stack, server, service, container, firewall, 'environment' and 'deployment'

Each specific type might have some specific directives.

Application directives

name Search the application name
env Search the application environment

Server directives

name Search the server name
address Search server's IP address or DNS name
vid Search the cloud provider (vendor's) ID for the VM

Service directives

name Search the service name

Firewall directives

Firewalls can be searched only by their tags.

Container directives

service Search containers by service name
id Search container by Docker UID
address Search by Docker or ContainerNet container IP addresses
image Search by the image name used by the container
server Search by the name of the server running containers

Environment Variables

key Search environment variables by their key

Deployment Variables

deployed_by Name of the person triggering this deployment
git_hash Git hash used in this deployment
git_ref Git ref used in this deployment

Complex queries

You can always combine queries to narrow your search down. Some examples are below:

type:server type:stack returns all servers and applications under your currently selected account
env:production tag:active returns all production applications tagged with active
lion type:firewall type:server name:bigcustomer returns everything within servers and firewall rules of any entity with a name of bigcustomer that has lion in it.
