Search modifiers

Use search modifiers to filter searches using tags, or use search modifiers to add the results of a saved search as an argument to a search.


eventtypetag

You can tag event types based on shared attributes. Use eventtypetag to filter your search to include events that have the specified event type tag (or tags).

Syntax

eventtypetag=string

Arguments

string Specify a single tag, or a comma-delimited list of tags.


hosttag

hosttag=string

Arguments
