Using the query builder

The query builder is an interactive tool with which you can construct complex

search queries without having to memorize attribute codes, or learning the

subtleties of the core query language. To start the query builder, click Advanced

Search on the search bar.

The query builder parses the text in the search bar. Each filter in the query text is

rendered as an editable block.

In some cases, Virtualization Manager can enumerate all the legal filter values for

your environment. Click the drop-down button next to the filter text to list all the

values Virtualization Manager knows about.

In addition to matching a single fixed value, filters can match ranges. For

example, “>512 MB” would specify all virtual machines which are configured for

more than 512 megabytes of memory. Filters can also specify multiple

requirements. “>512 MB <2 GB -1 GB” matches all virtual machines with more

than 512 MB and less than 2 GB of memory, but excludes those with exactly 1 GB

of memory.

Adding new filters

To add new filters, perform the following steps:

1. Click Add Attribute Filter or Add Label Filter.

2. Select the filter you want to add from the list.

3. Click OK.

With the Add Attribute Filter you can add a filter based on Virtualization

Manager collected data. You can further filter these attributes based on the

environment.
