Explorer is Bastion’s powerful search and investigation view for your environments. Browse and filter across object types, then inspect specific assets using tabular and graph-based views to examine infrastructure details or pivot across related objects to understand broader patterns of exposure.

Filter your search by tag or environment, Object or Issues, and data types. You can use additional filter groups to further narrow your search results.

Use Explorer filters to focus on high priority Objects and Issues

Click a row to open the Object View and inspect details, links, provenance, and to pivot to related entities.

Explorer enables you to:

  • Investigate assets and issues across environments: Search across thousands of objects with flexible filters to locate high-risk assets, surface unresolved issues, and trace exposure across environments.

  • Pivot through related objects: Move from a single FQDN to its associated services, applications, and known issues to build a mental model of the asset’s context and exposure.

  • Visualize connections: Reference the relationship graph to see how assets are linked. This is helpful for understanding blast radius, dependencies, or the chain of exposure tied to a misconfiguration.

  • Track historical trends: View changes over time, such as how many new assets are discovered and how frequently an object-type is assessed.
