Top bar and search
The top bar spans the window above feature content. Search is a global command palette opened from the top bar (button labeled Search pages, alerts...) — it is no longer part of the sidebar.

Global search
Route: available from any page, via the top bar.
| Behavior | Detail |
|---|---|
| Trigger | Click Search pages, alerts... in the top bar, or press Ctrl+K (works on any screen) |
| Placeholder | Search pages, alerts... |
| Results | Matching pages/routes, grouped by sidebar category (for example Alerts, Management, Access Control, Metrics & KPIs, Settings) |
| Keyboard | Arrow keys to navigate, Enter to open, Esc to close |
Search for a page
- Press Ctrl+K, or click Search pages, alerts... in the top bar.
- Type part of a page or feature name (for example alert, rol, notif).
- Matching routes appear grouped by category; click a result (or press Enter) to navigate to it.
- Press Esc or click outside the dialog to close it without navigating.
Despite the Search pages, alerts... placeholder, this dialog currently matches page/route names, not the content of individual alerts or alert history records. To find a specific alert, use the table toolbar search or TQL filters on the Alerts dashboard or History pages instead.
The top bar global search jumps to pages/routes. Table toolbar search (plain text or TQL) filters rows on the current list page — see TQL search and filters.
Best practices
- Match navbar indicators to severities you track daily — adjust colors in Settings if needed.
- Use global search (Ctrl+K) for quick navigation to infrequent routes (for example Service Topology).
- For incident lookup by resource or alert text, use the table search/TQL filters on the Alerts dashboard or History page — not the global search dialog.
- Switch language from the flag control; date formats in Settings respect your locale separately.
