Search Detectors by host.name

On the Detectors page in O11y Cloud, I can filter by Team, Origin, Quality, Tags and search box that filters the "Detector Name".       Is there a *trick* to searching my detectors by host.name?    

Can't do the "find in Infrastructure module, then click link to 'active detectors'" as our teams have access to manage their detector signals, but no access to infrastructure.    Would be great to just "search by host" and it pulls up associated detectors.   

Hoping there is and I am just missing it!   

Thanks!

Hi,

I think it's important to distinguish the difference between a "detector" and an "alert". You won't be able to filter detectors by host.name because a detector won't have a value for host.name. Once a detector fires an alert, then the dimensions are populated for when the matching conditions of the detector are triggered. So, you can filter alerts by host.name. Here is a screenshot of an active alert filtered by host.name.
