Search for a Managed Item

You can navigate directly to contextual information about a single managed item, such as a router or server that seems to be associated with a network issue. Search fields for data views let you search for items within selected views. Within the search results, you can click a link to see data views filtered by a selected item (Context pages).

Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to a dashboard page where you want to begin your search.
2. Enter a search string in the search field, and click Enter.

   You can supply a text string, a search string containing numbers, or a combination of both.

   The search results are displayed within categories of similar items. The item type is indicated.

3. Click one of the items in the list with a type of Server.

   A Server Context page for the selected item opens.

   The Details tab is selected by default. This page provides more data to identify the server, including its manufacturer and model, its group context, and the SNMP information associated with it.

   The group context information on this tab helps you to locate the server.
