Common query patterns

Keywords map to apps and types your organization has connected. If a word is not recognized, Opal treats it as part of the name search.

​
Try these

  • gcp postgres "admin" finds GCP Cloud SQL Postgres instances whose names contain admin.
  • role admin finds roles across your inventory whose names match admin, such as GitHub org roles and PagerDuty roles.
  • databricks group "remote finds Databricks account groups whose names start with remote.
Search results list with the item name, description, type, and an action.

​
Combine filters and text

Filters and the search bar work together. For example, select App → AWS, then type db "prod to find AWS databases whose names start with prod.

​
If you do not see what you need

  • Try fewer keywords or a shorter name fragment.
  • Clear filters and search again.
  • Browse the Catalog to explore apps by category.
  • Ask your admin if the resource is visible and requestable in Opal.
