IP Search

The IP Search page allows users to search for an IP address or FQDN, providing Appcentric visibility and correlation across IPAM, Load balancers, and Firewalls. Users have the flexibility to search for both private and public IP addresses or FQDNs.
When a public IP is searched, the system presents a grid displaying any Network Address Translation (NAT) rules associated with the translation to a private IP. Users can explore these NATTED rules and view correlations with private IP addresses in a hierarchical format. In the case of a private IP search, users will be directly presented with the hierarchical view.
Once the IP users clicks the search icon or view button incase of NAT IP, a correlation of all IP addresses will be shown in a hierarchical view as below.
In the hierarchical view, users can:
  • Search asynchronously across multiple data endpoints or sources.
  • View a summary of the sources.
  • If a source contains multiple IP addresses, click the view more option associated with the node to view the detailed tables for each source.
  • Download the IP/FQDN details in the Excel format by clicking the download icon located in the upper right corner. The Excel file will be downloaded to the default download folder.
  • Send the IP/FQDN details through email as an attachment to the email addresses or the user groups. To send the IP details through email:
