Dynamic group "starts with"

L2 Linker

Hi all,

I need to create a dynamic group based on the first letters of device name, like "starts with" or "not starts with".

I cannot use contains because, for example, I have server name that starts with QQ that should not be inside the group, but servers like ZZQQA01 should be inside.

Is there any way to do this?

Thanks

Hi Nicola_Nuzzi,

 

XDR does support the use of "wildcarding" when defining criteria for a dynamic host group, which would allow you to define the first characters you want to match in the given field followed by "*" which will cause the filter to match anything that starts with those characters.

 

Examples:

Endpoint Name = QQ* (The filter will match any endpoint whose name starts with "QQ")

Endpoint Name != QQ* (The filter will match all endpoints whose names do NOT start with "QQ")


Please reference step 4 in the documentation linked below for defining criteria for dynamic endpoint groups. Thank you for choosing Cortex XDR!
