Performing a Search
License: 
Any
For some event types, the FireSIGHT System provides predefined searches that serve as examples and 
can provide quick access to important information about your network. You can modify fields within the 
predefined searches for your network environment, then save the searches to reuse later. You can also 
use your own search criteria.
To perform a search:
Access: 
Admin/Any Security Analyst
Step 1
Select 
Analysis > Search
.
The Search page appears.
Step 2
From the 
Table
 drop-down list, select the type of event or data you want to search for
The page reloads with the appropriate search constraints.
Step 3
Optionally, if you want to save the search, enter a name for it in the 
Name
 field.
If you do not enter a name, a name is created automatically when you save the search.
Step 4
Enter your search criteria in the appropriate fields. 
  •
All fields accept negation (
!
).
  •
All fields accept comma-separated lists. If you enter multiple criteria, the search returns only the 
records that match all the criteria.
  •
Many fields accept one or more asterisks (
*
) as wild cards.
  •
Specify 
n/a
 in any field to identify events where information is not available for that field; use 
!n/a
 
to identify the events where that field is populated.
  •
Click the add object icon (
) that appears next to a search field to use an object as a search
