Searching for a Device

You can use the Device Search window to quickly find a specific device or many devices in Service Center.

You can also search for devices using the quick search field on the title bar of all Barracuda RMM pages. For more information, see Searching for a Device Using Quick Search.

Each time you perform a search, the results appear on a Results tab. You can have a maximum of six Results tabs. If you perform seven searches, the sixth Results tab shows the results for the seventh search.

The wildcard symbols (* and %) are ignored in the IP Address box.

Examples

To find a device that belongs to a specific user, you can type the user name in the Last Logged in User box.

If you enter Dell in the Manufacturer box, then all Dell devices are reported back. If you enter server in the Device Name box, then all devices with a name that includes 'server' are reported back. However, if you search for both of these at the same time, then all Dell devices with a name that includes 'server' are reported back.
