Add Filter to Azure Storage Browser Last Modified

Add Filter in Azure Storage Browser

Azure Storage Browser is a free, open-source tool for managing and exploring Azure Blob, Queue, Table, and File storage. It provides an intuitive user interface to manage and navigate your Azure Storage accounts. One of the useful features of Azure Storage Browser is the ability to filter the content based on specific criteria.

Prerequisites

To use the filter feature in Azure Storage Browser, you need:

• An Azure Storage account.
• Azure Storage Browser installed on your local machine.

Steps to Add Filter

Follow these steps to add a filter in Azure Storage Browser:

1. Launch Azure Storage Browser and sign in to your Azure Storage account.
2. Navigate to the container or blob, queue, or table that you want to filter.
3. Click on the "Add filter" button in the top toolbar.
4. In the "Add filter" dialog box, enter the Index key and the Operator Index value.
5. Click the "Apply" button to apply the filter.

Index Key and Operator Index Value

The Index key and Operator Index value are the criteria that you use to filter the content. The Index key is the property name that you want to filter on, and the Operator Index value is the comparison operator that you want to use. For example:

 Index key: LastModified
 Operator Index value: >=
 
 

This filter will show only the items that have a LastModified property greater than or equal to the specified value.

Supported Operators

Azure Storage Browser supports the following operators:

• = (equal to)
• > (greater than)
• >= (greater than or equal to)
• < (less than)
• <= (less than or equal to)
• ≠ (not equal to)

Example

Let's say you have a container with several blobs, and you want to filter the blobs based on their LastModified property. You can use the following filter:

 Index key: LastModified
 Operator Index value: >=
 Value: 2022-01-01T00:00:00Z
 
 

This filter will show only the blobs that were last modified on or after January 1, 2022.
