Expressions for advanced filter in Management Console

The time has come to say goodbye to Cove Data Protection (Cove)'s classic dashboard UI. The classic UI will be retired in July. We encourage you to switch to our new dashboard UI as soon as possible for the best dashboard experience.

You can find devices in the dashboard matching certain conditions using the advanced filter. To access it, click the arrow next to the filter field and select the Advanced search option.

Please note, the old legacy notations (found here) will still work for the time being, but we would strongly recommend you change to use the below notations as soon as possible.

Statistic field types

In this notation, there are three types of statistic fields:

  • Common - All begin with the letter "I" (upper i) and be followed by a number

    Example: I24 is used to request Time Zone

  • Backup Plugin Statistic - This is a 'per-datasource' field

    Example: D01F03 is used to request the selected size for the last backup session for the Files and Folders data source

  • Restore Plugin Statistic - This is a 'per-datasource' field

    Example: D01F03R is used to request the selected size for the last restore session for the Files and Folders data source

When making requests for multiple data sources or fields per data source, these must be either line or comma separated. E.g. D01F03, D02F03, D03F05

Example

For example, if you want to find the devices that back up "Files and Folders" and "System State" only, the advanced filter expression using both notations may look as follows:

AP =~ 'S' or I78 =~ 'D01D02'

Breakdown

  • AP=~ 'S': this is old notation meaning "Show active data source matching 'S' for System State".
    As you are using "AP" here, the data source shortname must also be in the old notation. "AP" and "I25" can be used interchangeably.
  • I78 =~ 'D01D02': this is new notation meaning "Show active data sources matching 'D01' for Files and Folders and 'D02' for System State".
    As you are using "I78" here, the data source ID must be in the new notation.
