Barbara,
Michael was close but not quite. 'Missed a splat... I added a dollar sign
too to end the string.
Use this to match your system contacts.
You can cut/paste this directly into Smartset editor in text mode.
('SNMP sysConatct' ~ '.*CISCO..$')
Explanation of regular expression:
1st dot = match any character
2nd "*" = any number of previous character (".") so, dot followed by splat
means any number (including zero)
of any character....
followed by characters "CISCO"
next 2 dots match any 2 characters
dollar sign means End (no more characters allowed)
So....
this will match :
JoeCISCOSW
MikeCISCOrt
SuzyCISCOaz
CISCO99
but not these:
cisco22 <-- lowercase
CISCORTS <-- 3 trailing chars instead of 2
GeorgeCISCOx <-- 1 trailing char instead of 2
Best regards,
Don Davis

Hello Barbara
I think a wild character is the point "." so your entry would look like
this, 'sysContact'='.CISCOSW' perhaps also use the "~" instead of the "="
sign. I dont know if there is any big difference between those 2 signs 8)but
my smartsets work well with the "~".
Greetings
Michel

Betreff: RE: [NV-L] Collection Editor
I have a similar problem. Trying to set up 2 smartsets.
One for CISCO Switches and one for CISCO Routers. I am trying to
use a
string attribute to grab an snmp value of 'sysContact=*CISCOSW or
*CISCORT'.
We have 7 different sysContacts defined throughout our Cisco
environment, but
they would all end in CISCORT or CISCOSW.
How can I get a wild character in before both of these two
expressions?
Barb...

Ray,
Smartset/Collection Editor uses "Regular Expressions".
Your rule should look like this :
(('vendor' = 'Microsoft') && ('IP Hostname' ~ '^CC'))
Note that the comparison operator for IP Hostname is the tilde symbol, not
an equal sign!
You can cut & paste this directly into your editor using text mode instead
of dialog.

Hello
I am trying to set up what probably is a simple collection group. I
would like all nodes that have the following requirements:
Vendor = microsoft
and
IP Hostname begins with "CC"
If I try setting IP Hostname ~ "CC" or IP Hostname ~ "CC*" then I
get everything that has CC anywhere in the hostname. I also tried CC+
and +CC neither one of them worked either.
How do you use wildcards to select only hostnames that begin with
CC?
Thanks
Raymond
