Filter and Search Events

The Event detail screen provides a more comprehensive view into each tracked event.

Event Detail

The sections are Message (for the full text of the message body), and Facets, Kubernetes Labels, Cloud Labels, and Additional Labels. You can search across Facets and Labels, and use their values as filters.

Use the search to find the facets (or labels) that match your requirements. Kloudfuse finds the match.

For example, you can search for the term alert, which returns the alert_type=warning facet.

Search for facets

You can subsequently filter on that facet, or copy it into your clipboard.

The same applies to search for the various label categories.

Click facet value in the list of facets, and chose whether to Filter By the facet, Exclude the facet, or Copy the facet value to use elsewhere in your analysis.

When you perform the filtering step, the value in the Filters menu changes, Kloudfuse adds the filter to the main search bar as a tile, and generates a graph with that filter enabled.

In the following example, we filtered on facet alert_type=warning, and the Events list shows only the events that include that facet and value.

Filter on facet value

To exclude a facet from the search, choose Exclude from the drop-down menu.

In the next example, we exclude the facet alert_type=warning, and the Events list shows only the events that don’t have that facet and value.

Exclude facet value

Choose the Copy option, and Kloudfuse adds the value of the facet to your clipboard.

Continuing with previous examples, if you copy alert_type=warning, the clipboard contains the value warning.

Filter Labels

Click on one of the labels, and choose to Filter by all matching results, to Exclude that filter from the results, or to Copy the value of the filter.

Event Label Filter

Filter Source

Similarly, click on the source name at the top of the Event Detail to filter on that value: to Filter by all the source, to Exclude the source from the results, or to Copy the value of the source filter.
