# Filter Topology by Cloud Tags

The following examples filter resources in the topology map that have cloud
service provider (CSP) native tags associated with them.

You can filter your topology per VPC/VNet tags or instance tags.

For instructions on saving selected topology filters as a reusable View, see
[Create a Topology View](/docs/cloud/monitoring/topology-view-create).

## Example: Filter topology by CSP VPC/VNet tags

1. You create a tag named *accounting* in your CSP environment and associate
   this tag with two VPCs.

2. In the Aviatrix Platform, you select a VPC in the Topology Map and locate the
   property named *vpc\_tags*.

3. You create a filter where the condition that must be met is the value of the
   property named *vpc\_tags* must equal *accounting*.

* Condition key = vpc\_tags

* Operator = equals

* Value = accounting

1. After applying this filter, you see only the two VPCs in your CSP
   environments that are used by your Accounting department in the topology map.

2. Searching on the term *accounting* in the topology search field also
   highlights nodes in the map that use a tag with this name.

## Example: Filter topology by Cloud Service Provider instance tags

1. You create a tag named *sap* in your Cloud Service Provider environment and
   associate this tag with four instances that run SAP applications.

2. In the Aviatrix Platform, you select an instance in the Topology Map and
   locate the property named *tags*.

3. You create a filter where the condition that must be met is the property
   *tags* with the value equal to *sap*.

* Condition key = tags

* Operator = equals

* Value = sap

1. After applying this filter, only the instances that run your SAP applications
   display in the topology map.

2. Searching on the term *sap* in the topology search field also highlights
   nodes in the map that use a tag with this name.
