Search Environments

In this guide, you’ll learn how to search and filter Environments by Application, Category, Status, Attributes, Dependencies, Tiers and more to narrow down relevant information in Golive.

Filtering Environments

You can filter Environments displayed in your Environment Views using the top search bar.

Info

For Timeline Views, filtering can be defined at the Swimlane level.

To filter Environments, follow these steps:

1. Access the desired View.

2. Click the Funnel icon next to the View name.

3. Use the search bar to apply filters.

Tip

Click the Edit button to update the default filter applied when you open the View.

Filter Criteria

Tip

Start typing characters in the search bar to filter the list of options. Adding multiple options applies the AND operator.

Additional Filter Options

Find Environments by IDs

Quickly locate Environments by typing id=<numerical ID> in the search bar.

Filter by Environment Attributes

Info
These filters work for Environment Attributes, but not for Deployment Attributes (represented with the ship icon). If you need to filter on Deployment Attributes, please open an improvement request and describe your use case.

You can filter Environments using their Attributes values. For instance, all Environments with the Backup Policy attribute containing the Daily Frequency chain of characters:

Use the star character * to search for all Environments that have an Attribute defined. For instance, all Environments with the Database attribute defined:

To filter for Environments that don't possess the specified attribute defined, use !. For example, to find Environments without a specified Owner, use the filter Owner=!.

Applying the same attribute filter multiple times uses the OR operator. For instance, the query below will return all Environments where the “Group” attribute contains “Group A” OR “Group B”.

Exact vs Partial Match

When filtering environments by an attribute (for example Backup Policy), the search behavior changes depending on whether the value is enclosed in quotes or not:

• If you use quotes (e.g. Backup Policy='Daily Frequency'), the search performs an exact match, case-sensitive comparison — meaning the attribute value must match exactly, including upper/lower case.

• If you omit quotes (e.g. Backup Policy=Daily or simply Daily), the search performs a partial match, case-insensitive comparison — it will return all results that contain the given term, regardless of case.

Examples:

With Tiers

If you use Environment Tiers, the with tiers checkbox will be displayed below your usual environment search bar. By default, with tiers is not selected, meaning that Tier Environments are not returned by the search.

When enabled:

• Tier Environments will appear in the search results.

• Tier filter will be available to filter by Tier Application.

Filter by Tiers

With hasTier=, select all Environments that have a specific Environment Tier.

With tierOf=, select all Environments that are tiers of a specific Environment.

Filter by Dependencies

With dependsOn=, select all Environments that “Depends on” a specific Environment.

With dependencyOf=, select all Environments that are a “Dependency of” a specific Environment.
