The Machines page enables you to monitor the progress and status of the replication of your SourceThe location of the Source machine; Currently either a specific Region or Other Infrastructure. machines, and to perform actions at the machineA physical or virtual computer. level.

The Machines page is divided into various actions on the top and the machineA physical or virtual computer. list view at the bottom.

The actions you can perform at the machineA physical or virtual computer. level are done using the Search box, FILTERS, MACHINE ACTIONS and LAUNCH TARGET MACHINES buttons.

These actions affect the machines within the machineA physical or virtual computer. view list, which shows all of your current machines.

Search Field

You can utilize the Search field to search for specific machines. Note that the search filters include any value, whether visible in the Machines list view or underlying (such as Cloud ID, progress percent, etc.)

Enter any value into the Search box and the system will automatically show relevant results in the Machine list view.

Ex. Only one of our three machines is shown after entering the first four digits of its Cloud ID in the Search box.

To cancel a search, click the gray "x" within the Search box.

Machine Labels

Machine Labels provide an unstructured way to organize machines into groups within a ProjectA Project is the basic organizational unit for running a CloudEndure solution.. Labels can be used to identify applications, operating systems, machineA physical or virtual computer. types, migration waves, etc.

You can add labels to machines through the Machines page on the Machines List View.

You can add Machine Labels by selecting a one or more machines by checking the box to the left of the machineA physical or virtual computer. name and then selecting the MACHINE ACTIONS button and clicking on the Modify Machine Labels for X Machines option.

To add a new label to the selected machineA physical or virtual computer.(s), input your desired label into the New label field and click the gray plus icon . Click SAVE.

You will receive a notification that labels have been added successfully.

Once you have added labels, you can easily filter machines by labels by clicking the FILTERS option.

The Filter by Labels menu will appear. To filter your machines, check the box to the left of each label you want to filter by. The User ConsoleCloudEndure SaaS User Interface. A web-based UI for setting up, managing, and monitoring the Migration and Disaster Recovery solutions. will automatically apply the label filters to the Machine List View.

Note: Labels that are not assigned to any machine will not show up as filtering options.

If you have many labels, you can search for individual labels by using the Search bar within the Filter by Labels menu.

Note: The label filters match any machines selected. If you filter by "Label A" and/or "Label B", the Machine List view will show machines that are tagged "Label A" and machines that are tagged "Label B" and not only machines that are tagged with both Label A and Label B.

Once a label filter is applied, the FILTERS button will display an orange circle next to it in order to let you know that the Machines List View is being filtered and that not all machines are showing.

The number of machines showing will be displayed in gray to the right of the FILTERS button.

If you select a machineA physical or virtual computer. (by checking the box to its left), the message next to the FILTERS button will indicate the amount of machines shown and the amount of machines selected.

MACHINE ACTIONS Menu

The MACHINE ACTIONS menu enables you to perform the following actions:

Note: Most of these actions can be performed on one Source machine or on multiple machines simultaneously.
