Find users

Just who exactly is on your network?

How many users are there?

What workgroups does each user belong to?

These are the kinds of questions that Paglo can help you answer. One easy way to find information is to view the Your Search Index window on the Search page of your Paglo Web account. Or click this link to run a saved Find Users search right from this page:

Searching from Your Search Index

Your Search Index displays what your Paglo Crawler discovers on your network, and summarizes it in a read-at-a-glance chart, including running processes, Active Directory items, systems, and more. It's is a great place to go first, to get general information about your network.

Click any icon to run a search for the details. For example, click Directory Items on your own Search page to see a list of the users on your network, review the workgroups that you have set up, and validate that the users on your network are authorized.

And if the initial set of results is too general, click the drilldown icon to the right of any entry to get details about an individual user.

Refine your search

When you click the Directory Items link on your home page, you’ll notice that the phrase path:/directory/item appears in the Search field at the top of the page. You can refine that search by adding name to it, like in the example search field below. Try it now in your Paglo account Search field (or in the experimental search field below) to run the search against your own data.

Try other easy searches

You'll want to try conducting other types of searches too. Try a basic search using words or phrases in plain English. In the search field below, click Search to look for network adapters on your network. Or insert your own search terms:

One of the easiest is the click-to-keep search, where you refine a basic search so it returns precisely what you want. Do this by clicking the relevant items that you want to keep in the results.

Paglo recognizes wildcards and boolean operators too. And then there's the template search, which presents a list of variables such as IP addresses that you can choose from to focus the search.

Post it to a dashboard

You can create a dashboard to display top-priority information at a glance — a virtual Network Operation Center (NOC). And as your Paglo Crawler reports fresh data from periodic scans, your Dashboard self-updates.

It's simple: when you have a search that's a keeper, click the Show/Hide button and pick Add to Dashboard to post the search to a dashboard for easy reference. Set up as many dashboards as you like.
