Search box#

Starting from version 6.1.0, Bacularis provides a new Bacula resource search feature.

Search#

Bacula resource search is case-insensitive.

You can search using the full resource name (e.g. bacula-fd) or a fragment of it (e.g. bac or fd).

The search feature includes a search history. It stores the last five search queries, allowing you to reuse them without typing them again.

Categories#

Search results are divided into the following categories:

  • Job - searches Bacula jobs

  • Client - searches Bacula clients

  • Storage - searches Bacula storage resources

  • Pool - searches Bacula volume pools

  • Volume - searches specific Bacula volumes

  • DIR config (Bacula Director configuration) - performs a full-name search across the entire Bacula Director configuration

Categories allow users to include or exclude specific resource types from search results individually.

Users#

Users can search only among resources they have access to. This means:

  • if a user does not have access to a given Bacula resource, it will not be included in the search results

  • if a user does not have access to the target page linked from a search result, the resource will not be listed in the results

  • if an administrator disables a given search category, all resources in that category (e.g. DIR config, Job, Pool, etc.) will not be displayed in the results

This ensures that the search feature is fully secure for users.

Configuration#

The search feature is configurable. Configuration options can be found in the application settings, available under the gear icon in the upper-left part of the interface:

[Page: Application setting] => [Tab: Features]

The settings allow you to:

  • enable or disable individual search categories globally (applies to all users)

  • enable or disable the visibility of the search feature in the interface

Default behavior#

By default, after installation or upgrade, the search feature is enabled with all categories available for selection.
