Filters Stripe

The Filters Stripe comprises a set of filter elements that let you control the attributes of the information displayed in the main window. 
The Filters Stripe is displayed at the top of the main window, for all views except the Reports view.

Using the Filters Stripe

To filter the information displayed, click on the filter element required. Performing this action will open a list containing the filter options.
You may then click the filtering option you want to apply. Alternatively, you may type in a value (e.g. a specific interval in the Time filter 
or a specific device name in the Device filter) and click ‘Apply’. (You do not need to click ‘Apply’ if you select one of the options already displayed).

Some filters allow multi-selection by typing in a comma-separated list of values.

You may combine several filters simultaneously. DPOD will alter the displayed information to reflect it.

Active filters will show the icon next to them, inactive filters will show theicon.
Additionally, the filter’s name and value will be added to the active filters display – a line of text immediately underneath the filter elements.

Example

When no filters are applied to DPOD’s display. Click the Time filter element and then click to select the ‘Last Hour’ option.
The Time filter’s icon will be highlightedand the text Time [ Last Hour ] will appear underneath the Filters Stripe.

DPOD retains your active filters as you move through its various views. This allows you, for example, to identify a rogue transaction
through the Service Latency dashboard, and then click on the Troubleshoot view to explore the filtered data further.

To disable a filter, click its filter element and select ‘clear’ from the bottom of the list. Alternatively use the ‘Reset Filters’ link found at the far right of the active filters display. 
This will reset the display to the default filter which is Time [Last 24 Hours].

Tools

Three tools are available on the bottom-right side of the filters stripe:
Share - allows the user to share the current page, including any active filters
Favorite Filters - allows the user to save the current set of active filters or load and apply previously saved sets
Reset Filters - reset all the filters to their initial state
