Dashboards can be searched by the dashboard name, filtered by one (or many) tags, or filtered by starred status. The dashboard search is accessed through the dashboard picker, available in the dashboard top navigation bar. The dashboard search can also be opened by using the shortcut F.
When using only a keyboard, you can use the keyboard arrow keys to navigate the results, and press Enter to open the dashboard that you want.
Finding by dashboard name
Type any part of the dashboard name in the search bar. As you type, search returns results for any partial string match in real time.
Dashboard search is the following:
-
Real time
-
Not case sensitive
-
Functional across stored and file-based dashboards
Filtering by tags
Tags are a helpful way to organize your dashboards, especially as the number of dashboards grows. Tags can be added and managed in the dashboard Settings.
To filter the dashboard list by tag, choose any tag that appears in the right column. You can further filter the list by choosing additional tags.
To see a list of all available tags, choose the Filter by tags dropdown menu. When you select a tag, the dashboard search is instantly filtered.
When using only a keyboard, press Tab to focus on the tags link, press the down arrow key to find a tag, and press Enter to select the tag.
Note
When multiple tags are selected, Amazon Managed Grafana shows dashboards that include all the tags.
