Searching for data
Click the search icon 
from the upper-right corner to view the search bar. Type the name of an application, device, entity, or metric to search for it, and click one of the categorized suggestions to view details. For example, if the result is an application, the KPIs, events, and devices associated with the application will be displayed. If the result is a device, the device details will be displayed.
To search for applications, devices, entities, and metrics
| Search | Procedure |
|---|---|
| Applications | Applications provide an aggregation of data sent to TrueSight Intelligence. Start typing the application name and select the application from the list of suggestions. For more information, see Managing applications. |
| Entities | Start typing the entity name and select the entity from the list of suggestions to view the list of metrics that belong to the entity. |
| Metrics | Start typing the metric name and select the metric from the list of suggestions to view the metric details. For more information, see Viewing metric details . |

To customize a search
You can use conditions and aggregation to customize your search expression.
This search will result in a list of all 'CPU Percent Usage' metrics for entities where the metric value was higher than 90%; the search value (90) and maximum value for individual metrics are indicated by lines drawn on the chart.
Refer to the following sections to view details on using these options:
Using conditions
Search for metric values that match a specified condition across entities. For more information on the available conditions, see search conditions.
Info
For example, you can search for the 'CPU Utilization' metric across entities whose usage is 50% or more. A red colored dotted line (------) is drawn on the chart to indicate the specified value (50).
Note
The unit of measure is automatically deduced based on the type of metric and does not need to be specified. The accepted units of measure are:#, %, secs, bytes, KiB, and GB.
Search conditions
You can use the following search conditions to search for metrics based on their value:
| Condition | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| = | List metrics that match the specified value | CPU Percent Usage = 100% |
| != | List metrics that do not match the specified value | |
| > | List metrics that are greater than the specified value | |
| < | List metrics that are less than the specified value | Free Memory < 9000bytes |
| >= | List metrics that are equal to or greater than the specified value | Used Disk Space >= 100GB |
| <= | List metrics that are equal to or less than the specified value | Loan Request Volume <= 100 |
Using custom aggregation with conditions
An average aggregation function is applied by default to all conditional searches; a line is drawn at the average value for the time period. Specify custom aggregation functions (minimum, maximum, or average) to draw a line on the chart for the metric.
For example, type CPU Percent Usage max > 70 to list all metrics named 'CPU Percent Usage' metric across your account. From the results returned, click the metric name to view the aggregation details in a chart.
The aggregation function is set to max,and depicted using an orange colored solid line (____) on the chart at the maximum value for the metric parallel to the red colored dotted line (------) for the value entered (70%). The visual representation lets you view the values between 70% and the maximum value for the last four hours (four hours is the default time range, if a temporal expression is not specified).
Conditional search with average aggregation
| Conditional search with minimum aggregation
|
|  |
| Abbreviation | Description |
|---|---|
| min | Draw a line for the minimum value that the metric reached during the selected time range. |
| max | Draw a line for the minimum value that the metric reached during the selected time range. |
| avg | Draw a line for the average value of the metric during the selected time range. (Value 1 + Value 2 + Value 3 + Value n) / n |
