Live Search View
The Live Search view provides the ability to browse the configured Live CMS for resources. Once matching resources are found, you can view details, subscribe to resources, and deploy resources to services and service groups.
Note: If you are logged into an Analyst UI, you can only view but cannot enable, disable, edit, or configure NetWitness Live.
This is an example of the Search view.
The Live Search view has a panel for specifying search criteria and a panel that displays matching resources. The Search Criteria panel is collapsible to provide more width for viewing the Matching Resources panel.
