Using the Managed Object Browser
The Managed Object Browser, or Visore, is a utility built into the NX-OS that provides a graphical view of the managed objects (MOs) using a browser. The Visore utility uses query methods to browse MOs active in the NX-OS data store, allowing you to see the query that was used to obtain the information. The Visore utility cannot be used to perform configuration operations.
Accessing the Visore Browser
Open a supported browser and enter the URL of the Nexus 3000 or 9000 Series device, followed by /visore.html.Example
https://192.0.20.123/visore.htmlWhen prompted, log in using the same credentials you would use to log in to the NX-OS CLI.You can use a read-only account.

The filter form is case sensitive. This area supports all simple NX-API REST API query operations.
The filter form contains the following elements:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Class or DN field | Object class name or fully distinguished name of a managed object. |
| Property field | The property of the managed object on which you want to filter the results. If you leave the Property field empty, the search returns all instances of the specific class. |
| Op drop-down list | Operator for the values of the property on which you want to filter the results. The following are valid operators: == (equal to) ; != (not equal to) ;< (less than) ; > (greater than) ; ≤ (less than or equal to); ≥ (greater than or equal to) ; between; wildcard ; anybit ; allbits |
| Val1 field | The first value for the property on which you want to filter. |
| Val2 field | The second value on which you want to filter. |
Display XML of Last Query Link
The Display XML of last query link displays the full NX-API REST API translation of the most recent query run in Visore.
Results Area
You can bookmark any query results page in your browser to view the results again because the query is encoded in the URL.

Running a Query in Visore
Follow these steps to run a query:
Step 1 Enter a class or DN name of the MO in the Class or DN text box.
Step 2 (Optional) You can filter the query by entering a property of the MO in the Property text box, an operator in the Op text box, and one or two values in the Val1 and Val2 text boxes.
Step 3 Click Run Query. Visore sends a query to the NX-OS and the requested MO is displayed in a tabular format.
Step 4 (Optional) Click the Display URI of last query link to display the API call that executed the query.
Step 5 (Optional) Click the Display last response link to display the API response data structure from the query.
Step 6 (Optional) In the dn field of the MO description table, click the <** and **> arrows to navigate to the parent and child classes of the displayed MO.
- Clicking > sends a query to the NX-OS for the children of the MO.
- Clicking < sends a query for the parent of the MO.
Step 7 (Optional) In the dn field of the MO description table, click the additional icons to display statistics, faults, or health information for the MO.
