Searching for APM services

[willemdh]

Hello,

I was wondering why it seems so hard to search for specific services:

We have quite a bit of APM services. Full Text Search on the service name does not give any results in the above searchbar..

Or am I missing something?

Grtz

Hi @willemdh

service.name is a keyword type so no full text search is not supported.

You should be able to use wildcard like...

service.name : *something*

Do not do
service.name : "*something*"

Just to be clear this is probably fine for finding service in the inventory or service map but using wildcard searches on keywords are not really efficient and are discouraged at scale.
