Auto Tag Rule but Modify the Value and Apply the Result

sivart_89 — Tue, 23 May 2023 21:06:11 GMT

Hey everyone, I'm wondering if it is possible to create an auto tagging rule but apply some logic to it to remove some characters and insert a space, then use the result of that for the tag value. My example is below.

original value:
SERVERENV (via: server)

what i'm hoping to get:
SERVER ENV

OR i will accept:
SERVER\ENV

Hello,

What you could do for value is limited to a few predefined "properties" you can regex on .. or a static value.

Example:

{ProcessGroup:KubernetesNamespace/([^-].+?-.+?)-}

Unfortunately, the kind of functionality you are asking for with additional enhancements would be a very useful feature.

Hi @tibebe_m_digafe,

Do you know if that can be applied to tags as service naming rules?

Best regards

Hi @anton

If I understood your question, the example I provided earlier was for auto-tagging.

it will extract the first 2 "words" from k8s namespace (name uses "-" separator)

xyz-123-crf-456 => xyz-123 (this is then assigned as value for the tag).

Hi,

Yes, I was talking about that. That regex can be applied in more placeholders.

Thank you for your answer!

Best regards

@AntonPineiro yes, you can apply it at the naming level, You can also add in strings with regex, Example, you could parse out the first part of the Services String and add in part of the Host Group Name for a Result of "EzTravel Check out - Front End"

Thank you @ChadTurner, yes, @tibebe_m_digafe was able to confirm it to me with his example.

Thank you both, appreciate it 😎
