Public URLs
You can generate valid public URLs that you can link to the Entity Viewer app. By creating these links, you can integrate access from other apps (such as Active Console and Dashboards) to streamline workflows and create a more cohesive experience. These public URLs can either:
- Open an existing context in the Entity Viewer app, while preserving the current view.
- Create a new context based on specific context query parameters provided in the link, which allow customized views.
- Link to a single entity using an entity query, training focus directly on a specific entity.
By URL-encoding all query string parameters, the Entity Viewer app can correctly interpret URLs and support context selection and entity filtering.
Function | URL structure | Description |
---|---|---|
App base URL | {host}/app/entity-viewer |
Redirects to the first of the user’s contexts, if any. |
View group of entities | {host}/app/entity-viewer/context/{contextName}?{Context Query Params}&{Entity Query Params}&{Commands Query Params} |
Displays the entities for the user context with name = contextName . If not found, it will preview a context based on any provided Context query parameters. If Entity query parameters are provided, then the entity matching the parameters will be displayed. |
View single entity | {host}/app/entity-viewer/entity?{Entity Query Params}&{Commands Query Params} |
Displays a single entity based on the provided dimensions. |

Query parameters Copied
Context query parameters (optional) Copied
All query parameters should be URL-encoded before being passed to the Entity Viewer app.
Query parameters | Type | Default | Example (before encoding) | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
filter | string | "" | “geneos_kind = managedEntity” | Filters the entities. |
groupBy | string[] | [] | [“source_gateway”,“HostName”,“managedEntity”] | Groups the entities. |
groupByDisabled | string[] | [] | [“source_gateway”] | Disables groupings provided in the groupBy. Each entry must also exist in the groupBy. At most 3 entries is allowed to be enabled at a time. |
stateTrees | { name: string; logicalTrees: string}[] | [] | [{“name”:“State Tree”,“logicalTree”:[“source_gateway”,“HostName”,“managedEntity”]}] | Provides trees which allows you to filter your entities through use of facets. |
activeTree | string | first | “State Tree” | Sets the currently active state tree. |
