Watch4net APG 5: Using basic filtering syntaxHow to use filtering syntax in Watch4Net APG 5How does basic filtering work in Watch4Net APG 5?
Resolution
The following summarizes the most common filtering practices in Watch4Net APG 5: When you want to select one exact device (for example, select ONLY the device called device.name.com), you use: device=='device.name.com' When you want to select a group of interfaces (for example, select interfaces called Serial0/1.100, Serial0/1.200, Serial0/1.anything), you use: part='Serial0/1.%' & parttype=='Interface' Note that sometimes, it is useless to mention parttype=='Interface' since only interfaces can be called Serial0/1.%. When you want to select a specific indicator (for example only ifInOctets), you use: name=='ifInOctets'. After, you can combine filters with AND (&}), OR (|), NOT (!). Then to select ifInOctets for interfaces Serial0/1.<anything> for device device.name.com, you use: device=='device.name.com' & part='Serial0/1.%' & name=='ifInOctets' IMPORTANT! Note the difference above between the = and == operators. When you want to use wildcards, you MUST use = (as in part='Serial0/1.%'). When you want an exact match, you MUST use == (as in. device=='device.name.com')
