Search

The Search box at the top of the left nav bar (CTRL + K, or Cmd+K on macOS) allows you to search for anything in SquaredUp, so you can search across your entire IT estate. For example, you might want to find a dashboard, workspace, host, lambda etc.

  • Search by term or properties.
  • Maximum of 200 results returned.
  • Search results grouped by type, for example tiles, dashboards, organizations etc.
  • Search results show the object name, an icon for the data source and the data source.

When using the tile editor there are also searches for data streams and objects, which work in a similar way, see Data tiles.

Using search terms and operators

  • Try the search just by typing some search terms.
  • You can use operators to narrow the search if needed, these should be capitalized:
    • AND, OR, or NOT, e.g. web AND node
  • Use double quotes for phrases, e.g. "Azure DevOps Repo"
  • Use parentheses for grouping, e.g. (tag:PROD OR tag:DEV)

Using property names

When searching you can filter by properties and values, using the format:

property:value

where property is the Internal Property Name and value is a value you wish to find.

Case is significant for some properties, so it's useful to copy the Internal Property Name.

For example, searching for test will show you any object with the word test in its name, searching for type:dashboard test will only show dashboards with test in their name.

Object properties are shown when drilling down to an individual object. For example when clicking on a data stream on the left nav bar (such as the AWS data stream), then the Overview tab, then on an object in the objects pane.

The internal property name can be found by hovering over the property name and clicking the copy icon, as shown in this clip.

Cover image
The Show internal properties toggle displays previously hidden properties, not the internal property name.

See Object properties.
