Use the Cloudaware list view builder to customize the existing default list views or create a new one from scratch. |
...
Standard pre-built list views are available under the section DEFAULT VIEWS. Standard list views are not editable.
Select a any standard list view and click the arrow sign → Clone & Edit View to copy and save the view it as a custom one.
Custom List Views
...
The toggle 'Private List View' is set on by default for each list view created from scratch (in the section CUSTOM VIEWS). Switch it off to let other users see the list view you created.
| Note |
|---|
Customers can control access to public list views creation in their Cloudaware account. By default, users with CloudAware Administrator and CloudAware Collector Only, or a user with custom permission listViewEditor can create public list views visible to all users in the organization. The rest are able to create private list views only. |
Filter Criteria
Click +ADD FILTER to add a new filter criteria.
...
A filter criteria consists of a field name, a logical operator and a value. You can select Select a field name from the drop-down list or type the name in the search bar:
...
| Note |
|---|
Some fields have a list of related fields to drill down into (use > to select a related field): |
 |
|
Click 'home' sign to go back to the general list of fields.
...
Example: Here we refer to AWS Account which is a master object for AWS EC2 Instance, and retrieve its related field 'Account Name'. Setting up a certain value or criteria, we can narrow the search scope, i.e. AWS accounts containing 'test' in their names will be excluded. Having added the field 'State Name' along with the operator 'equals' and the value set up as 'running', we managed the search to display all running instances only.
Field Type
Select 'Standard' to see the list of all fields, except JSON fields.
...
Select 'JSON field' type to filter the fields containing JSON data, pick the one under question and click Apply. You can also use JSONPath expressions in the box 'Field JSON Path' to focus your search.
 |
Select one field (ex.1) or several ones (ex.2) for the search to refer to. JSON data will be parsed and shown in several columns below.
...
Example 1: Here we refer to the JSON field 'Tags JSON' and its related field 'Name', so that their values are displayed in separate columns in the list.
...
Example 2: Here we refer to the JSON field 'Policy Document JSON' first to evaluate all related fields available, and then we pull fields 'Statement' and 'Effect' to the list to see their values.
 |
| Note |
|---|
JSONPath expressions start with $ and can contain the dot- (a) or the bracket-notation (b) for input paths: a) $.Fieldname[0].Fieldname b) $["fieldname"]["fieldname"][0]["fieldname"] - where [0] is the number of an element in the array.

Logical Operators
equals | Use for an exact match |
not equal | Use for an exact match with a certain value excluded |
greater than | Use when you want results that exceed the value you enter |
greater or equal | Use for results that match or exceed the value you enter |
less than | Use for results that are less than the value you enter |
less or equal | Use for results that match or are less than the value you entered |
contains | Use for fields that include your search string |
not contains | Use to eliminate records that don’t contain the value you enter |
like | Use to locate records that include the exact value you enter or type % to include a certain part of the value entered, e.g. `Account`.`Account Name` like test will search for all account names containing test |
not like | Use to locate records that exclude the exact value you enter or type % to exclude a certain part of the value entered, e.g. `Instance Name or ID` not like %environ% will search for all instance names and IDs, except the ones containing -environ- |
starts with | Use for results that start with a certain value |
Grouping Filters
You can combine several conditions within one group of filters. Select the condition operator AND (all of conditions are true) or OR (any of conditions are true):
...
Using groups of filters and condition operators AND/OR, you can set up complex conditions in the section 'Filter Criteria':
...
| Note |
|---|
Pay attention to the check box Invert group: if checked, it inputs a negation to the meaning of all filters in the group. |
...
Example: In this example, we initiate a search for all instances that are present in AWS and running, but we also want to exclude the instances containing ‘test’ and ‘dev’ in their names. Instead of looking for appropriate operators with a negative value for each filter criteria, we simply group the required filters and apply negation to the whole filter group.
...
Click the 'label' icon to change a column name (in a resulting list view):

Hover over triple dots on the left and drag a column up or down to manage the order of columns in the list:
