Search Cloud Resources

The Cloud Console lets you search for specific VM instances to display. If a specific field is not specified, all fields are searched. Search syntax and supported fields for the search are:

• text1 - Returns VMs where text1 is found in any field (case-sensitive)
• " " - Returns VMs with the exact phrase in any field, for example: "dns server" (case-insensitive)
• <fieldname>:<text> - Returns VMs with the text in the specified field, for example: tag:key

  Supported field names are: hostname, tag

  If you specify more than one field in the search, only VMs matching both field values are shown

  • hostname:<text> - Returns VMs where the hostname contains the specified strings (case-insensitive)
  • tag:<tag>/<value> - Returns VMs with a tag key matching <key> and a tag value tag matching <value> (case-insensitive)

  You can search for a tag key only (for example: tag:key) or value only (for example: tag:/value)

For example, the following search will display all VM instances whose hostname contains the word "dnsapp" and that also contains the word "infrastructure" in any tag.

hostname:dnsapp tag:/infrastructure
