Chapter1 Getting Started with Security Manager
Understanding Basic Security Manager Interface Features
Using Global Search
Security Manager provides a global search feature to make finding and working with information that
you are interested in easier. The Global Search feature allows you to search for devices, policy objects,
policies, and tickets that contain a particular search string. The scope of the search can be limited to just
devices, policy objects, policies, or tickets.
Note Search is only performed using data that has been committed. Changes that have not yet been submitted
to the database will not be included in search results.
Wildcard Matching
The search string supports the use of the following wildcard characters:
•Asterisk (*)—matches zero or more characters
•Question Mark (?)—matches a single character
Semantic Searching
If the search string that is entered is an IP address, Security Manager will perform a semantic search. For
example, entering "192.168.0.0/16" in the search string will return items matching that subnet as well as
any specific hosts or other subnets belonging to that subnet or to which that subnet belongs.
Global Search Scope
Global search is supported only within a set of policies and policy objects, not all. The supported policies
and the policy objects are the most frequently used policies and objects in the customer deployments.
The policies and policy objects supported are:
•Devices: All Devices
