Dynamic query filters

I need to create a group containing all devices in a particular conutry. I need to do this based on IP address.

I need to be able to filter out other countries however this is proving difficult, since these is no option for 'does not start with'

I tried using 'is not' and just putting the begining of the IP, such as 10.64. but this does not work, it still finds anything in the 10.64.0.0/16 subnet.

Anyone know a way around this? It would be very helpfull if one of the dynamic query filters was 'does not start with'

Hi rakem,

I would create custom property 'Country' then in Web Node Management set this property for Nodes and create dynamic group based on custom property 'Country'.

This approach is not fully dynamic (you still need to set custom property manually) but makes usage quite straitforward and intuitive

thanks

Thanks for the info....

how do you set custom properties? Can it be done in bulk? I have over 2000 devices to manage...

yes in custom property editor you can paste into an entire column

Ok thanks for the help

A note to Solarwinds devs - I think having a 'does not contain' as a filter in a dynamic query for groups would be a great feature!

I totally support this. I am stuck with this for now... need to exclude certain objects, but can't seems to do it without this filter
