1.3. Search in the console
For Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes, Search provides visibility into your resources across all your clusters.
You can type any text value in the Search box and results include anything with that value from any property, such as a name or namespace. If you search for RedHat and you manage a large number of clusters, it might take a longer time to receive search results.
For more specific search results, include the property selector in your search. You can combine related values for the property, for a more precise scope of your search. For example, search for cluster:dev red to receive results that match the string "red" in the dev cluster.
- Click Search in the navigation menu.
Type a word in the Search box, then Search finds your resources that contain that value.
- As you search for resources, you receive other resources that are related to your original search result, which help you visualize how the resources interact with other resources in the system.
- Search returns and lists each cluster with the resource that you search. For resources in the hub cluster, the cluster name is displayed as local-cluster.
-
Your search results are grouped by
kind, and each resourcekindis grouped in a table. Your search options depend on your cluster objects. You can refine your results with specific labels. Search is case-sensitive when you query labels. See the following examples: name, namespace, status, and other resource fields. Auto-complete provides suggestions to refine your search. See the following example:
-
Search for a single field, such as
kind:podto find all pod resources. -
Search for multiple fields, such as
kind:pod namespace:defaultto find the pods in the default namespace.
-
Search for a single field, such as
Notes:
- Users are unable to search for values that contain an empty space.
- Any user can search for resources, but results are based on your role-based access control assignment. Additionally, if you save and share a Search query with another user, returned results depend on access level for that user. For more information on role access, see Using RBAC Authorization in the Kubernetes documentation.
-
You can also search with conditions by using characters, such as
>, >=, <, <=, !=. When you search for more than one property selector with multiple values, the search returns either of the values that were queried. View the following examples:
-
When you search for
kind:pod name:a, any pod namedais returned. When you search for
kind:pod name:a,b, any pod namedaorbare returned.See the following example:
-
Search for
kind:pod status:!Runningto find all pod resources where the status is notRunning. -
Search for
kind:pod restarts:>1to find all pods that restarted at least twice.
-
When you search for
- If you want to save your search, click the Save disk icon.
