Searching and filtering

The ability to instantly find resources is important to safeguard your cluster. Use Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes search feature to find relevant resources faster. For example, you can use it to find deployments that are exposed to a newly published CVE or find all deployments that have external network exposure.

Search syntax

A search query is made up of two parts:

  • An attribute that identifies the resource type you want to search for.

  • A search term that finds the matching resource.

For example, to find all violations in the visa-processor deployment, the search query is deployment:visa-processor. In this search query, deployment is the attribute and visa-processor is the search term.

You must select an attribute before you can use search terms. However, in some views, such as the Risk view and the Violations view, Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes automatically applies the relevant attribute based on the search term you enter.

  • You can use multiple attributes in your query. When you use more than one attribute, the results only include the items that match all attributes.

    Example

    When you search for Namespace:frontend CVE:CVE-2018-11776, it returns only those resources which violate CVE-2018-11776 in the frontend namespace.

  • You can use more than one search term with each attribute. When you use more than one search term, the results include all items that match any of the search terms.

    Example

    If you use the search query Namespace: frontend backend, it returns matching results from the namespace frontend or backend.

  • You can combine multiple attribute and search term pairs.

    Example

    The search query Cluster:production Namespace:frontend CVE:CVE-2018-11776 returns all resources which violate CVE-2018-11776 in the frontend namespace in the production cluster.

  • Search terms can be part of a word, in which case Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes returns all matching results.

    Example

    If you search for deployment:def, the results include all deployments starting with def.

  • To explicitly search for a specific term, use the search terms inside quotes.

    Example

    When you search for deployment:"def", the results only include the deployment def.

  • You can also use regular expressions by using r/ before your search term.

    Example

    When you search for Namespace:r/st.*x, the results include matches from namespace stackrox and stix.

  • Use ! to indicate the search terms that you do not want in results.

    Example

    If you search for Namespace:!stackrox, the results include matches from all namespaces except the stackrox namespace.

  • Use the comparison operators >, <, =, >=, or <= to match a specific value or range of values.

    Example

    If you search for CVSS:>=6, the results include all vulnerabilities with Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) score 6 or higher.

Search autocomplete

As you enter your query, Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes automatically displays relevant suggestions for the attributes and the search terms.

Using global search

By using global search you can search across all resources in your environment. Based on the resource type you use in your search query, the results are grouped in the following categories:

  • All results (Lists matching results across all categories)

  • Clusters

  • deployments

  • Images

  • Namespaces

  • Nodes

  • Policies

  • Policy categories [1]

  • Roles

  • Role bindings

  • Secrets

  • Service accounts

  • Users and groups

  • Violations

  1. The Policy categories option is only available if you use the following:

    • PostgreSQL as a backend database in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes (RHACS).

    • Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security Cloud Service (RHACS Cloud Service).

These categories are listed as a table on the RHACS portal global search page and you can click on the category name to identify results belonging to the selected category.

To do a global search, in the RHACS portal, select Search on the top right side.

Using local page filtering

You can use local page filtering from within all views in the RHACS portal. Local page filtering works similar to the global search, but only relevant attributes are available. You can select the search bar to show all available attributes for a specific view.

Common search queries
