Sorting and filtering

Sorting

Click on a table column heading to sort the table according to that column. Click on the column heading again to display a reverse sort according to that column.

Filtering

  1. Click Filters ^ to select filtering based on search strings or partial strings of the API Name or API Base Path.

  2. Enter the search string in the Search from table field. The search displays the matching rows in the table.

    • The search is case-insensitive.

    • Wildcard searches, for example using an asterisk (\*), are not supported.

    • Use of quotation marks is not supported.

    • Be aware of the use of spaces in a search string. A leading or trailing space can filter out results. A single space is not regarded as multiple consecutive spaces.

    • The graph filters are applied before the table filter. Use of the table filter produces a subset of the graph filter. For example, in the graph filter select Not Trained. The graph and the table show not trained data only. The table’s Trained column only has rows with the value No.

    Next, in the table filter, select API Base Path and enter /acc. The table is reduced further, displaying only the rows where the API Base Path column contains the string /acc.

API drill-down

In the Top APIs table, click on an API in the API Name column, to display the API activity dashboard with further details about that API’s activity in the reported period.
