The most recent screen captures of Chrome devices are listed in reverse chronological order. Click a blue link to view the screen capture. If a screen capture fails, you’ll see a message with one of the following error codes: 0—Generic failure. 1—Screen capture failed because user input was detected. 2—Failed to get screenshots. For example, there is no screen connected to the device. 3, 4—Failed due to server error. 5—Failed due to client error. 6—Failed because the upload url is invalid. Note: Devices that are in kiosk mode but have had user input (for example, mouse or keyboard movements within a kiosk session) are not eligible for screenshots until they are reset. If an input is detected, screenshots can't be taken until the device is restarted to reset the input trigger. The device must auto-launch into a kiosk app for screenshots to work.
Device Logs and attributes	Clicking Capture triggers a fresh upload of device attributes and logs on devices in kiosk mode. You’ll see a message that lets you know if the device attributes were successfully uploaded.

Logs are stored for a maximum of 60 days. At any one time, 7 logs are available for download—1 for each day for the past 5 days, 1 for 30 days ago, and 1 for 45 days ago. Tip: Use Log Analyzer to examine the system logs.

To run a Chrome device search, enter your criteria in the search field in the left nav, and then click Search. To return to the list of all devices following your search, click Clear.

Tip: You can perform a search across all organizational units by checking the Search all organizations box.

Enter each search term as a single word with no spaces, or enter a quoted list of words (for example, "east coast"). Searching for single words and quoted lists of words will run queries in all fields.

Searches are case insensitive, and punctuation is generally treated as white space within a search. For example, running a search for admin@yourdomain.com is the same as entering the words "admin yourdomain com".

Note: From the More Actions drop-down menu, you can also select Export MEID List to export a list of the Chrome device MEIDs that match the current search criteria. See Exporting the MEID list.

To search within a specific field only (for example, to search for a specific user), you can enter an operator followed by an argument -- for example, user:jsmith. You can use single words or quoted lists of words as an argument when running an operator query.

To run an operator query, follow these guidelines for each field:

Serial Number
Enter id: as the operator. For example, if you are searching for the serial number 12345abcdefg, enter the following:

id:12345abcdefg

Partial serial number searches are supported, as long as you enter at least three characters in the serial number.

Status
To view all provisioned or deprovisioned devices, select the status from the left drop-down, and all of the devices that fit this criterion will appear in the view. Alternatively, you can do the following searches from the All devices view:

To search for:	Enter the following:
Provisioned devices	status:provisioned
Disabled devices	status:disabled
Deprovisioned devices	status:deprovisioned

User
Enter user: as the operator. For example, to match the name Joe, but not Joey, enter the following:

user:joe

To match the name Tom Sawyer or A. Tom Sawyer, but not Tom A. Sawyer, enter with quotation marks:

user:"tom sawyer"

Recent user
Enter recent_user: as the operator, and enter a user’s email address as the argument. For example, to search for all devices that a specific user recently signed in to, enter the following:

recent_user:user@mydomain.com

Location
Enter location: as the operator. For example, to match Seattle, enter the following:

location:seattle

Notes
Enter note: as the operator. For example, to match loaned from John, enter the following with quotation marks:

note:"loaned from john"

Register
This field is not displayed on the Chrome OS settings page. However, you can search for devices that were registered on a given date, or within a given time range.

Enter register: as the operator, and enter a date and time (or time range) as the argument. For example, to search for all devices registered on March 23, 2013, enter the following:

register:2013-03-23

For additional examples using dates, times, and ranges, see "Format for date and time searches" below.

Last Sync
Enter sync: as the operator and a date or time range as the argument. For example, to search for all devices that were last synced with policy settings on October 12, 2013, enter the following:

sync:2013-10-12

For additional examples using dates, times, and ranges, see "Format for date and time searches" below.

Asset ID

Enter asset_id: as the operator. For example, to match the partial Asset ID 1234, enter the following:

asset_id:1234

WiFi MAC Address

Enter wifi_mac: as the operator. Address should be entered without spaces or colons. Partial address matching is not supported. Be aware that multiple devices may report the same address to the Admin console, and more than one result may be returned. For example, to search for the device(s) with WiFi MAC 6C:29:95:72:4C:50, enter the following:

wifi_mac:6c2995724c50

Ethernet MAC Address

Enter ethernet_mac: as the operator. Address should be entered without spaces or colons. Partial address matching is not supported. Be aware that multiple devices may report the same address to the Admin console, and more than one result may be returned. For example, to search for the device(s) with ethernet MAC E8:EA:6A:15:79:81, enter the following:

ethernet_mac:e8ea6a157981

To run a search in multiple fields, you can enter multiple operators. For example, the following search string will match all provisioned devices belonging to John Doe in New York:

user:"john doe" location:"new york" status:provisioned

To view the devices that last synchronized with the management server between a specified range of days, enter a minimum and maximum number of days and click Search. For example, you enter 10 for the minimum and 20 for the maximum to see the devices that synced between 10 and 20 days ago. To see the devices that synced in the last 24 hours, enter 1 in both fields. You can leave the maximum field blank to see all devices that haven't synced since the minimum number of days.

Enter the date and time based on the local time of the user. The date and time are specified using the following format:

YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss

The hour is in the range 0-23. Place the hour (or time) immediately after the date, with no space. For example, to run a search for 1:00 p.m. on October 12, 2013, enter the following:

2013-10-12T13:00:00

For ranges, enter two periods between the dates. To specify a range on or before a given date, enter two periods before the date. To specify a range on or after a given date, enter two periods after the date. See the examples below.

Search exactly on a given date
Enter the operator (for example, register:) and the date as follows:

register:2013-03-23

Search exactly on a given date and time
Enter the operator (for example, register:) and the date and time as follows:
