    Article summary

    The Device details page shows all devices that have the Edge DX Agent installed. There are many ways to filter and sort the list of devices to show only the devices you want to see.

    Filter device groups and tags

    If you have organized your devices with device groups and tags, you can filter the list using the Device Group or Device Tag column using the methods described below. This is useful if you want to quickly see data or perform an action on all devices in a certain group or with a certain tag. To learn more about device groups and tags, and what they can be used for, visit Organize Devices with Groups and Tags.

    Filter Devices

    You can filter the list of devices based on:

    • Displayed columns
    • Nondisplayed column using the global filter selector

    Filter a displayed column

    1. Find the column that you want to use as a filter. If there is a filter selector under the column name, then you can add filters for that column. For example, you can filter by the OS or Remote IP Address columns.

    2. Apply a filter to the column. You can either:

      • Enter text in the filter box to show results containing the string you entered.
      • Select an item from the filter dropdown.
      • Click the filter icon for more filtering options, or to add multiple filter conditions with AND/OR logic.
      • Paste a list of values separated by a new line into a text column filter to show all devices matching one of the values. For example, this can be useful if you receive a list of device names and want to perform an action on all of the devices. Note that this method is recommended only up to a few dozen devices. If you have to filter many devices (hundreds or thousands), then you should use other filtering methods, or use the API to perform the action on the list of devices.

    Filter a displayed or nondisplayed column

    1. Click Add filters at the top-left of the page to add global filters to the device list.

    2. Add one or more filter conditions based on the column you select. Note that you can select a column to filter even if that column is not currently displayed in your current grid preset.

    3. Click Apply Filters.

    Clear all filters

    Click the Remove filters/sorters button at the top-right of the page to remove all filters.
