Filter the Threats page with Query Mode
You can use the Query Language (IQL) to display only threats that match query criteria. This option is available for threat pages with this icon in the top bar .
You can search and filter using complex search queries, similar to those used in other popular tools such as Splunk and Jira, combining various data fields and logical operators to obtain nearly any desired result.
The original filters are still available in Basic Mode or you can use Query Mode to achieve results that are not available with the current filters. For example, in Query Mode you can apply several filters with a logical OR relationship between them, while with the current filtering options, there is a built-in AND relationship between different filters. You can easily select between using the query language, “Query Mode” or the existing filters, “Basic Mode.”
The intuitive query interface supports automatic suggestions and completions, making it very easy to use without needing to remember exact field names or operators.
Queries can consist of the following elements:
- Field - A word that represents a field in the Query Language. In most cases, fields correspond to filter names.
- Operator - A word or symbol that compares the value of the field with the value. Only results whose value matches are returned.
- Value - A value that is used to test if it matches.
- Keyword - A word or phrase that joins clauses or alters the logic of clauses or operators.
