What are they?

FILTERS !.png

Filters can:

  • Select specific data sets for:
    • Dashboards, Sections, and cards
    • Analysis, Reports, Inventory and configuration
  • Directly include or exclude data sets
  • Have a hierachy. Dashboard filters influence the whole dashboard whereas a card-level filter will only influence the card.
  • Be saved
  • Support:
    • Categorical results such as Metadata, Applications and Zones
    • Metric results Capture or session
    • Wildcards and selections
    • Alerts
  • Simultaneously include and exclude IPs. This way, you can include IP ranges, but exclude specific IPs if needed.
