Hi
The search function in Dataminer is very strong. It is very easy to find element names, views, trendet parameters etc. However, we want to search the contents of a table within a driver. I have not been able to do that.
Concrete example:
In the Arista driver I want to search for the MAC address under "Detailed Interface Info", or for a term within the column ID "LeafB01".
How is this possible over the search function in Cube?
Hi Stefan,
in the system-wide search (through the search box in the middle of the Cube header bar) you cannot search for values of metrics. So that is not possible if you want to search for values such as a MAC address across all the data across all your devices.
If you want to search in a specific table of a specific element, then this is possible in the search box on the top right of each table (there you can just type the keyword and it will filter across all columns, or you can type the name of the column and suggestions will come up that you can click on to limit the search to a specific column).
But I assume you wanted to use the system-wide search in the top header bar of Cube to search for example for a mac address across all data contained in all elements?
Hi Stefan – my pleasure, and thank you for contributing to Dojo. I’ll double check something though, because there might be a chance that you could whip up a solution for such as use case with a dashboard or app. With GQI we can probably query all the relevant data across all the devices, provide a consolidated overview and allow people to filter out what they are looking for.
Dear Ben
Thank you for your valuable input. Right, you bring it to the point.
The use case is that my colleagues want to quickly check which port and switch a device is connected to.
For example if it is documented incorrectly or plugged into the wrong port. Sure with traceroute, Ping or Cloudvision solution is also possible and used for the moment- with Dataminer it would just be fancier.
Searching via the bar works pefectly if the parameter is trended. But it makes no sense to trend a MAC address or a text.
Many thanks for the answer and this cool plattform.
Kind regards
Stefan
