XPLG provides a search engine – XpoSearch, which enables you to conduct a search through this immense amount of data for anything that you like. Using the XpoSearch interface, you can search all the logs in XPLG Center (applications, servers, network devices, database tables, and more).
Search Types
The Search provides two main types of searches:
Simple search – initial search, using simple search syntax, which results in a list of matching events.
Complex search – an advanced search, using complex search syntax, which results in a summary table of matching events, or transactions.
Search Stages
A search can be run in three stages:
Initial search
Refined search
Complex search
Initial Search
In the initial search, the user enters a search query of simple criteria, and the search runs on all the event data. In this simple search, the user can search the event data for a simple term or more than one term, run a Boolean search, a search with wildcards, or a column-based search.
...
The resulting events of a simple search can be minimized by refining the search results using either or both of the following methods:
Filtered Search – filtering the resulting events according to the source of the event – logs, files, applications, or servers
Analytics-based Search – adding one of the event data fields discovered during the simple search to the search criteria of the simple search
Complex Search
Complex search queries are used to perform advanced complex operations and reporting on the log events resulting from a simple search. Running a complex search query results in a summary table, and can also be visualized as gadgets in XPLG Dashboards.
