Tailwarden's inventory is the cornerstone of our platform, offering transparent insights into all your resources. To leverage these insights fully, we've developed a robust filtering system. This guide will walk you through setting up filters on the Tailwarden inventory to gain deeper insights into your cloud infrastructure


How to set up filters on the inventory

For a practical demonstration, please refer to our instructional video.

As of now, filters in Tailwarden can only be combined using 'AND' conditions.

Saving a Filter

To save your filters, create a view. For instructions on creating, updating, or deleting a view, please refer to this page.


Current limitation

The primary limitation at present is the inability to set up 'OR' conditions between different filters; only 'AND' conditions are available.

If you have ideas for additional filters or features, we'd love to hear from you!
