##### Using filter

You can use the filter to display only the discovery rules you are
interested in. For better search performance, data is searched with
macros unresolved.

The *Filter* link is available above the list of discovery rules. If you
click on it, a filter becomes available where you can filter discovery
rules by name and status.
