The query feature is a powerful tool that lets you quickly explore and analyze any assets in your environment. Let's discover how Netapp's query feature transforms this process. Choosing Explore and Add new metric query. I start by selecting the Storage node object as my query basis. This focuses on the key data element I want actionable information on. I'll apply custom filters using the plus to narrow your scope. Set one to include specific storage models and another to exclude non-production environments from data centers I've annotated. This directs my analysis to my production assets that are critical to maintain compliance. On using the gear icon on the right of the columns, I'll customize the displayed columns to show only the details I need. I choose three key attributes such as model, node, version, and data center. This ensures the asset's essential information I need is clearly presented for informed decision making. I can enhance the clarity of my results by grouping the data. First I'll group by node version. This instantly shows current versions as well as the outdated versions that I am most concerned with. Because I've added the data center annotation, I can see some sites look like they may need more attention than others. To easily align my focus on these, I'll regroup my data center. I can now review and immediately identify which specific locations may need the most attention. After refining my query, saving it will allow me to always have an up to date view of this information. Maintaining proactive storage management and compliance. Note that my query data can also be exported for use elsewhere. By following these steps, I turn what is usually a tedious manual audit into an efficient, streamlined process. And by using custom filters, tailored columns and strategic grouping, I can make well informed decisions to take actions on any asset. Now go ahead and leverage the full power of queries in your environment.
