Using Search

Search is a valuable tool for both beginners and experienced Nexthink users, saving you time by directly bringing useful information straight to your fingertips. When searching for a particular piece of information, simply type what you are looking for into the search bar.

How to get started with Search

First, ensure that your role has permissions to view Search. Without proper permissions, you will not be able to use or see Search. Refer to the Permissions section for more information.

To access Search, select Search from the main menu.

The Search window appears, allowing you to type your text into the search bar. Review search results and select the results you would like to further explore.

Search results comprise all items and investigations associated with the words you typed in.

What you can find with Search

You can conduct searches across various parameters, empowering you to efficiently track down specific information. To search for users, binaries, devices, packages or applications, simply type the first letters of the name.

To receive port results, enter a port number.

For destination results, type the domain (destination) you are interested in, e.g., google.com

Use the action menu in any search result that includes binaries, devices, packages, destinations, and users to easily navigate to relevant investigations and dashboards.

The user interface separates results into several sections and only displays the content you have access to, based on the role assigned to your account by your Nexthink administrator.
