Cosmos Manager Management App

A new Cosmos Manager management app has been added with Release 5.0, to provide clients with a mechanism for viewing their Activity Stream data.  Cosmos Manager provides the ability for an authorized user/administrator to view and query their Cosmos database, troubleshoot data concerns, and identify areas for data cleanup.

Click on the Cosmos DB Manager in Management Apps.

Search the Cosmos database with the entry of values as defined in the table below:

Saved Queries Provides a dropdown list of the available saved queries
Select Specify the column names to be used for the query.  For multiple column names, use a comma delimited format (i.e. c.id, c.Partionkey), or use * for all columns.
From Dropdown list of available entity types to search.
Where c.EntityType= Available columns for the Entity type selected in the From field. This example shows the entity type columns available for comments.
Where c.id= Provides the ability to select a specific column id.
Where Custom: Provides the ability to search on a specific custom column.  For example, to find all people in the HR department group, c.groupName=”HR”.
Order by: Select the column for the sort order and select ascending or descending sort order.  Default is column id (c.id) ascending (asc).
