Exluding data with Action

[stekol61]

Hi!

This is related to my earlier question "Exluding data in script".

What I need is an Action in the 'Warning & Uptime' button that excludes nodes that contain the name 'LAB'.

How can this be done?

Use 2 actions:

the first selects nodes that contains LAB

the second is Select Excluded

[stekol61]

It doesnt work.

The nodename is a dimention: Country&'-'&Hostname. Maybe that's why it doesn't work.

Regarding ''Select Excluded' whet field should be excluded?

[m_woolf]

I suggest that you create a field in script, something like:

Country & '-' & Hostname as NodeName,

Then Use NodeName in your chart and as the Field for the Actions

[stekol61]

I will try this.

Should i then use the action ''Select Excluded' for this new 'NodeName'?

[m_woolf]

For both actions

[stekol61]

So:

The first Action selects NodeName that contains LAB (='*LAB*')

The second Action Select Excluded 'NodeName' ?

I assume that the "LAB" is in the hostname. So apply the logic outlined above to Hostname (select *LAB* (Hostname) and then select excluded (Hostname))

Yes - or use Jonathan's suggestion and Use Hostname for both actions
