Finding assets using filters on the Device Inventory list

You can use filters to quickly find items in Venafi Platform inventories. Items that can be filtered include certificates, SSH keys, devices, identities, credentials, or Server Agents.

From any inventory list you can apply one or more filters to narrow the results. For example, use filters when you want to find a specific item, or find a group of items that meet a more specific set of criteria.

Filter Panel Types

The filter panel contains the following filters:

  • Device Properties. Unlike other inventory filters, the Device Inventory lists each filter in its own group. Those individual filters are described below.

NOTE  Quick Search does not allow you to search for agents.

  1. In the Search box on the menu bar, type all or part of the name of the object you are looking for, and then press the Enter key.

  2. In the search results, click the name of an object to view its details.

  1. From the menu, open any of the inventory list views.

    For example, click Inventory > Devices.

  2. Using Filters, select and apply one or more filters to narrow the list of discovered items.

    DID YOU KNOW?  As you select and remove filters, the inventory list is automatically refreshed giving you instant filter results.

  3. When you find the object you want in the inventory, click its name to view details.

EXAMPLE  How search filtering works

All of the selections in a filter field are OR fields.

In the example above, the search could be described in the following way:

Show me all certificates with (policy location of EMEA or EMEA/Marketing) and (a certificate type of Server Certificate or a Client Device Certificate) and (Status of Disabled and Expired-Long Term).

The following filters are available on the Credential Inventory page.
