Search for a Collector or Source

Many Sumo Logic customers have hundreds of collectors and sources installed and configured. But even with only 10 Collectors, sometimes it can be hard to find the one you need in the list.

On the Collection page, a search field allows you to search for collectors and sources by name or sourceCategory using complete keywords.

To match partial keywords use a wildcard. For example, use "apache*" to match "apacheprod".

Wildcards are supported only at the end of the keyword and keywords are case insensitive.

In addition to the search field, you have a couple of dropdown selections to further filter your results.

• The Show dropdown provides the options for All, Installed, Hosted, Running, and Stopped Collectors.
• The Show up to dropdown allows you to filter the number of results displayed.
• Expand to expand or collapse the Collector's displayed Sources.

To search for a collector or source:

1. Classic UI. In the main Sumo Logic menu, select Manage Data > Collection > Collection.
   New UI. In the Sumo Logic top menu select Configuration, and then under Data Collection select Collection. You can also click the Go To... menu at the top of the screen and select Collection.
2. Enter a complete keyword (or keyword and wildcard) in the search field, and click Search or press Enter.

Search results are displayed.
