Searching an application

The Applications page displays the list of YARN applications in a tabular form. You can apply search filters on this list to show only those applications that match the search criteria.

1. On the Applications page, select either Regex or SQL from the drop-down list depending on the type of search you want to perform.
2. In the Search box, specify the search criteria.

   Search Criteria	Description
   Regex	Lists the applications whose details match the search criterion specified as a regular expression. For example, if you want to view application runs longer than an hour, mention the regular expression ^hso that the YARN UI shows only those applications that mention the Elapsed Time value in terms of hours, minutes, and seconds.
   SQL	Lists the applications whose details match the search criterion specified as a SQL statement. For example, if you want to view all the applications submitted by the user yarn, specify "User"='yarn' as the search criterion.

3. Click Search to view details of the applications matching the search criteria.

   	Note
   	Apart from specifying search criteria to filter the list of applications, you can also select or clear the State and Queue check-boxes to view a specific set of applications depending on your requirements. You can sort the application entries in ascending or descending order by clicking the corresponding arrow next to any column header in the table.
