Searching for Items

On the Items view, you can filter your Items by many different properties. Some properties are direct properties of the items themselves, while others are evaluated against the occurrences of the item.

In all cases, the Items search will return the matching items and the properties about those items. For filters that evaluate against occurrences, except as noted below, the aggregate statistics shown for each Item describe the Item as a whole (not the subset of occurrences that match the search).

Searching by context

Title

  • hello world finds items whose title contains both "hello" and "world" (infix search).

  • context:home#index finds items with context matching "home#index" (prefix search).

Comments

  • has:comments finds items that have comments.

IP Address

  • ip:101.102.103.104 finds items that were seen by the ip address "101.102.103.104" (exact match).

  • has:issue finds items that have a linked issue. (NOTE: This command can be negated using !has:issue)

  • user_id:12345 finds items/people associated with the user id "12345".
  • username:snowden finds items/people associated with the username "snowden".
  • email:[email protected] finds items/people associated with the email "[email protected]".

user_id:, username: and email: searches default to prefix searches unless an explicit suffix
search is made.

  • e.g. searching for username:alice will return alice, alice1234, aliceasdf.
  • e.g. searching for username:*alice will not return alice1234, aliceasdf.
  • e.g. searching for username:"alice" will perform an exact match search.

Searching based on specific item payload values

If you need to search for items based on additional data not outlined above, such as specific fields or values, you can utilize Rollbar's flexible RQL feature. You would be able to filter and search based on specific fields or values. For additional information and usage examples, please refer to our RQL documentation.
