Add and Manage Data Filters
On a dashboard, you can add a filter for the data results and display only the data that contain a particular value. You can also create negative filters that exclude data that contain the specified value. Filtering makes it easier for you to focus on specific information on a dashboard. The applied filters are shown in the query bar. Negative filters start with NOT in red.
After you add a filter, you can manage it by applying quick actions on the filter label such as excluding matches, and editing or removing the filter.
- 1.On a data source dashboard, for example Technical Metrics > Source Control > Commits > Overview, click + Add filter.
- 2.Click in the Filter field and:
- Select a filter from the Field drop-down list.
- Select an operator from the Operator drop-down list
- Type or select a filter value in the Value field. Note: You can turn on the Create Custom label? key to open Custom label field that lets you enter a label value that identifies your filter subject.
- 3.Click Edit as Query DSL to build a filter using Elastic search Query DSL. You can create positive and negative operators and filter on whether or not a field is present.\
- 4.Click Save. The filter label appears in the query bar.
- 5.(Optional) Clickto display and hide the CHANGE ALL FILTERS options as shown in the following example:
- Enable all enables all the disabled filters.
- Disable all disables the filters without removing them. Strike-through indicates that filters are disabled.
- Pin all pins the filters. Pinned filters persist when you switch contexts. For example, you can pin a filter in one dashboard and it remains in place when you switch to another dashboard. A filter is based on a particular index field—if the indices being searched do not contain the field in a pinned filter, it has no effect.
- Unpin all disables all pinned filters.
- Invert inclusion switches the positive filters to negative filters and vice-versa.
- Invert enabled/disabled switches the enabled filters to disabled filters and vice-versa.
- Remove all removes all the filters from the action bar.
The Edit filter option lets you manually update a filter and specify a label for it.
