Search and Filters
Find items quickly using global search or narrow down lists with filters.
Prerequisites
- Access to an Upstat project
1. Use Global Search
The search bar in the top navigation finds items across your project.
- Click the search bar or use the keyboard shortcut
- Type your search query
- Results appear grouped by type (Incidents, Monitors, Team Members)
- Click a result to navigate directly to that item
Global search finds:
- Incidents by title or ID
- Monitors by name or URL
- Team members by name or email
- Catalog entities by name
2. Filter Within Sections
Each major section has its own filter toolbar for narrowing displayed items.
Incidents
Filter by:
- Status - Open, Acknowledged, Resolved
- Severity - Critical, High, Medium, Low
- Labels - Custom tags applied to incidents
- Assignee - Who is working on the incident
Monitors
Filter by:
- Status - Up, Down, Degraded, Paused
- Type - HTTP, SSL, Heartbeat
- Region - Check location
- Tags - Custom monitor tags
On-Call
Filter by:
- Roster - Specific on-call roster
- Date Range - View past or future schedules
3. Combine Filters
Apply multiple filters simultaneously to narrow results precisely.
- Select your first filter criterion
- Add additional filters as needed
- Results update automatically
- Clear individual filters or use Clear All to reset
Filters persist during your session but reset when you navigate away.
4. Sort Results
In list views, click column headers to sort:
- Click once for ascending order
- Click again for descending order
- A third click removes the sort
Common sort options:
- Last Updated - Most recently changed items first
- Created - Newest or oldest items
- Severity - Critical issues at the top
- Name - Alphabetical ordering
