Can you create a dynamic query using both the polling method and custom node fields?

I need to create a group that is populated via a dynamic query. The current dynamic query that I am using selects nodes based on two custom fields. Going forward I want this group only to contain the nodes that meet these conditions and are monitored via a Solarwinds agent. How do I configure this?

Hello,

Unfortunately, the polling method is not available as part of the group based dynamic query.

Thanks for the update that this is not supported. I think I have found a workaround that will work in my case. The Machine Type field is only populated via the agent. There for attempting to filter for nodes that are monitored by the agent I need to look for ones with a value for the Machine Type field. Not what I was hoping for but it seems as if it will give the required results.

As a workaround you could do something hacky like copy the polling method to a custom property on all your nodes to expose that data point to the dynamic query builder. If you don't mind getting really hacky I've found that if you edit the definitions directly in the db you can actually make almost anything you want happen, as long as the SQL is legit. It doesn't display right in the UI obviously and you are taking your life in your hands when you do things like that, but it has worked for me in the past.
