Early Access: Tagged Entity Search: This feature requires support to enable. Please contact your Veza customer success team for more details, and to enable the feature.
Tagged Entity Search provides a way to search the data catalog based on any tag that Veza users have applied, or any cloud provider tags Veza has discovered.
Use the Access Search > Tagged Entities panel to view all tagged entities. You can filter to show only results with tags that have a specific type, key, or value.
Each row shows a single tagged entity, identified by the Name and ID columns. The Tags column lists the tags applied to each entity. From this screen, you can:
Remove a Veza Tag by clicking on the x next to the tag name (Veza tags are shown in purple).
Show authorization relationships for the entity in graph search (Open in Authorization Graph).
Click on an entity name to view additional details and node properties.
Use the dropdown menus at the top of the screen to filter the list of tags:
Tag Type: show only Veza, AWS, or Google Cloud Platform tags or labels
Key: show only tags with a matching key (such as environment)
Value: show only tags with a matching value, (such as production)
To see all cloud native and Veza tags that exist on entities in the data catalog, open Data Catalog > Tags. Choose a tab to show AWS, GCP, or Veza tags (the options will depend on your configured providers). Each row represents a key:value pair Veza has discovered.
You can use this panel to view all Tags, and open results in Tagged Entity Search:
Open the Veza Tags, AWS Tags, or GCP Tags tab.
Use the search bar to filter the results if needed.
Click View all tagged entities.
To to remove a Veza Tag from the entities it applies to using Data Catalog > Tags:
Open the Veza Tags tab.
Filter to find the specific tag.
Click View All Tagged Entities
Find the entity on the Tagged Entities list, and click Remove Tag.
To add or remove non-Veza tags, you will need access to the provider's administration console. See the official documentation for more information about AWS Tags and Google Cloud Tags and Labels.
