The gray search bar can be used to filter the information presented via filters:

  • Object used to filter on object name (host, service, contact, SNMP trap definition, group, etc.)
  • User used to filter by change author
  • Object Type used to filter by object type

Practice

For example: To see all the actions performed by the user admin, enter “admin” in the User field and click Search.
