The Servers page

Go to Services → Servers. The Servers page lists the servers your current organization can see. Which servers appear depends entirely on the organization you're working in and on the Organization filter.

The toolbar

Control
What it does

Search

Filters as you type, across server name, IP address, host ID, service tag and labels — see below.

Server Type

All types, Bare Metal, FlexMetal or Virtual.

Organization

Chooses which organization's servers to show — see below.

Reset filters

Appears once any filter is applied; clears search, type, organization, sorting and paging.

Columns

Show or hide columns.

Density

Compact, standard or comfortable row height.

Searching

Search matches a server's name, IP address, host ID, service tag, and any label you've set on it. Type at least two characters — below that nothing is filtered and the full list stays on screen.

When a server matches because of a label rather than something already visible in a column, the matching label appears as a chip beneath the server's name, with the matched part in bold. Up to two chips show per row, then +N more. This is why a row you didn't expect can appear in the results: the chip is the explanation.

Search terms have a maximum length. A very long term can't be searched, and the Console says so on the row-count line beneath the table — "This term is too long to search, so every server is shown" — with the search box outlined in red. Shorten the term to filter again.

The Organization dropdown

This is the control that decides your scope. It lists every organization and organizational unit in your current structure, plus one extra option separated at the bottom:

  • Your current organization (the default) — servers owned directly by the organization you're working in.

  • Any organizational unit by name — servers owned by that unit.

  • All organizational units — everything: your current organization and every unit beneath it. Use this for the full picture.

Your choice is kept in the page address, so you can bookmark or share a particular view.

The table

Column
Notes

Status

A coloured dot. Hover it for the status in words — Online, Offline, Check failed or Unconfirmed — and for when that reading was last taken. Unconfirmed means the power state couldn't be determined, not that the server is down.

Name

The server's name. Click it to open the server's details.

Server IP

The one address you reach the server on, plus a count of the rest. A Management chip marks an out-of-band address and Private one reachable only from your own network. If your search matched a different address, that address is listed too with the match highlighted.

Location

Data-centre location with a country flag.

Type

Bare Metal, FlexMetal or Virtual.

Organization

Which organization or organizational unit owns the server.

Billing Account

The account number (K-number) the server belongs to — including for servers that came in through an import.

Billing

How the server is billed — Part of your agreement, No monthly charge, Billed through FlexMetal, or an individual price. Hidden by default.

Chassis, Service Tag, Host ID, Category, Operating System

Hidden by default; switch them on with Columns.

Order Servers at the top right of the page opens a short menu for ordering Bare Metal or FlexMetal servers.

Click a row to open that server's details. Sort by clicking a heading (Location, Type, Chassis and Host ID are sortable). Page size options are 10, 25, 50 and 100.

When the list is empty

Which message you get says what emptied the list.

Your organization has no servers to show

  • "No servers in this organization" — this organization has no servers of its own, but its organizational units do. Click Show servers in all organizational units to see them.

  • "Need compute power?" — there are no servers anywhere in your organization yet, with links to order Bare Metal or FlexMetal servers.

Your filters emptied the list

  • "No servers match <term>" — the search ran and nothing matched. The message also reminds you that you can search by IP, host ID, service tag or label.

  • "No servers in this view" — an organization or server-type choice left nothing to show. Change either above, or use Reset filters to see every server.

The organization in the address can't be used

  • "Organization not found" — no organization with that identifier exists.

  • "No access to this organization" — it exists, but it isn't one you can see.

  • "Invalid organization address" — the address doesn't name an organization in a form the Console recognises, usually a truncated or hand-edited link.

Each of the three carries a link back to your own organization's servers, or you can pick another from the Organization filter.

Still prefer the old page? A notice at the top of the list links back to the previous Compute page in the older portal, if you'd rather use the familiar view for now.
