Advanced search

Post by chercen »

Hi,

It would be great if we could do an advanced search when searching for devices or graphs. That is, now we can only search one string: "switch 1", or "win server", or "router"; it would be useful if we could search:

"procurve" OR "catalyst" => result= all procurve and catalyst switches
"site A" AND "switch" ==> result= switches installed in site A
"site A" AND NOT "catalyst" ==> result= switchs in site A, but not catalyst

I hope I have explained properly :-)

Regards,

Cesar

You may use "SQL wildcards" and other SQL query stuff within the search field. Wildcards are working, I'm using them often. Other operators should work, but I didn't check yet

Because of string quoting, I don't think other operators will work.

What is exactly the solution to make multiple search (with AND, OR)?
Give me an example for a query please. Because I intended with "AND", "&" "%" and other and nothing work.

Thanks for your reply

AND, OR are not supported. Cacti performs a LIKE operation, not a REGEXP operation. So wildcards only are supported (see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/ ... rator_like)
% matches several characters
_ matches a single character
You may combine multiple wildcarding sequences, e.g.
host%- traf% bandwid%

filtering base on sub-tree

Post by seichimaru »

I just noticed that the filter by host is so limited. Could it be editted to filter by sub-tree in the preview mode?

NMS Devices
|____ nms1
|____ nms2
Wan Routers
|____ router1
|____ router2

If i check it in the preview mode, it only has filtering by host. I'm really not good in php.I want to see all the graphs under the Wan Router Tree. Pls. someone check it out if its possible to filter by sub-tree.

In version 1.1.5 it does not work.
% and _ does not return anything.
For example:
  • Traffic%lagg
    %cpu%
    CPU_Temp
Part of graph names:
  • ...Traffic - lagg0...
    ...- CPU Temp...

1.1.5 supports regular expressions. So, you can do the following on the graphs page:
(catalyst|cattlecar)
And both all matching items will show.

Is it possible to perform, in the Cacti 0.8.8b version, a search similar to:
(catalyst|cattlecar)
