Searching and filtering Snapshots

Over time, the amount of snapshots generated under your AWS account will typically number in the hundreds.

ECG portal makes it easier to navigate these snapshots, using Filter and Search options.

To review all snapshots from the Main Menu, select Snapshots.

Filtering

To filter snapshots, from the navigation menu chose one of these options:

  1. Storage Gateway Snapshot – Shows only snapshots created from the volume(s) attached to storage gateway

  2. Without Existing Volume – Shows snapshots created from the volume that no longer exists

  3. With Existing Volume – Shows snapshots created from still existing volume, regardless of attachment to any EC2 Instance

  4. With Existing Volume Attached – Shows snapshots created from still existing volume and attached to an EC2 Instance

  5. With Existing Volume Detached – Shows snapshots created from still existing volumes but not attached to any EC2 Instance

  6. Attached to AMI – Shows only snapshots part of image (AMI)

Additionally, when the checkbox Show Snapshot Details (Instance and Volume name) is checked, information about EC2 Instances and EBS volumes is shown along with snapshot details.

To apply selected filter criteria, click Filter.
