For easy collaboration when addressing issues in your environment, you can share your searches for log events and make them available to other users or user groups. Users can directly access a shared search without setting up the search themselves, enabling consistency in the search criteria.
The shared searches are displayed in the Shared Search table in the Log Monitoring application.
Before You Begin
Ensure that users with whom you want to share searches have a Web Console account.
