Browse Artifacts in a Federated Repository

Navigate the Artifacts Browser to view and inspect files stored in a Federated repository on your local JPD.

View repository contents in the Artifacts Browser. Browsing a Federated repository is the same as browsing a local repository.

Before You Begin

You have READ permission on the repository.

Browse Artifacts

To browse artifacts in a Federated repository:

In the Application module, click Artifactory > Artifacts.
Locate the Federated repository in the repository tree.
Expand folders and select artifacts to inspect metadata.

You can then use standard artifact actions such as download and copy path.

You can also search for artifacts from the command line using the JFrog CLI:

jf rt search <REPO_KEY>/<ARTIFACT_PATH_PATTERN>

Where:

<REPO_KEY>: The key of the Federated repository
<ARTIFACT_PATH_PATTERN>: A path or wildcard pattern for the artifacts you want to find

For example:

jf rt search federated-libs-release/com/myapp/*

Notes on Synchronized Artifacts

Artifacts shown are the local member's synchronized copy.
Recently deployed artifacts from another member may take time to appear locally.
