→VMM Administrator Console Filtering
The volume of information presented by the VMM Administrator Console, especially when managing large numbers of managed hosts and virtual machines, can be overwhelming. In order to help drill done into specific categories of results, the console provides a filtering mechanism. The filters are located in the middle panel on the left hand side of the console window beneath the ''Filters'' title:
The filters provided are context sensitive, only displaying filter options which are relevant to the currently select view.For example, the figure to the right illustrates the filter categories available when the Virtual Machines view is selected. In this category, the displayed virtual machines can be filtered by virtual machine status, owner, guest operating system type, added date (the date the virtual machine was added to the console) and tag. The available settings in each category are accessed by clicking on the required header resulting in a list check boxes appearing. For example, the following figure shows the Virtual Machine ''Status'' filtering options selected: [[Image:vmm_admin_console_vm_status_filter.jpg|VMM Administrator Console Virtual Machine Status Filters]]
