USM Central includes several filters displayed by default. These filters enable you to search for your items of interest. You can either filter your search, or enter what you are looking for in the search field, which is in the lower-left corner of the page.

Using Filters to Search for Configuration Issues

USM Central allows you to configure more filters and change which filters are displayed by clicking the Filter Configuration icon ().

The management of filters is similar to that for alarms. See Managing Filters for more information.

Across the top, you can see any filters you have applied. Remove filters by clicking the Close icon () next to the filter. Or clear all filters by clicking the Clear All Filters link.

Note: When applying filters, the search uses the logical AND operator if the used filters are different. However, when the filter is of the same type, the search uses the logical OR.
