Catalogs

Catalogs are the backbone of the Cortex platform — here, you can track and store information about all of the components that make up your infrastructure. You can see all entities on the All Entities page. Additionally, you can also organize entities into catalogs to make it easier to find and manage them.

Default catalogs​

By default, Cortex comes with four built-in catalogs:

  1. Services contains all entities of type service
  2. Resources (or Infrastructure) contains all entities that are not of type service, domain, or team. If you choose to auto-import entities from AWS, Azure Resources, or Google Cloud, you can find them in this catalog.
  3. Domains contains all domain entities and displays them in a hierarchical view
  4. Teams contains all team entities and displays them in a hierarchical view alongside a leaderboard based on Scorecards

You can choose to rename these catalogs to fit your own taxonomy.

Custom catalogs​

You can create custom catalogs to organize your entities in a way that makes sense for your organization. For example, you might want to create a custom catalog for all your AWS S3 buckets or for all your RDS instances. You can also create a custom catalog for all your tier 0 services.
