VMware Cluster selection in the connection configuration

David_A — Wed, 12 Mar 2025 06:34:15 GMT

Is it possible when you create a vmware connection config in Dynatrace to exclude certain clusters? Atm I can only find include filters. A $ne or $notcontains would be more beneficial then include filters like mentioned below.

$prefix(parameter)
$eq(parameter)
$suffix(parameter)
$contains(parameter)

Hi @David_A

Maybe the following operators can be use, please try / test them.

$not, $or, $and eg. $not($contains(production))

I have already used them at extesnions eg. F5 for filtering purposes.

You can find some examples on these links which ones related the OS service monitoring but I guess a logic is the same:

Settings API - OS services monitoring schema table — Dynatrace Docs

https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/os-services#step-3

I hope it helps.

Best regards,

János

Hi Miszo,

Unfortunately only the 4 operators I mentioned in my post are allowed in the VMware connection config.

Should have one of the following formats: $prefix(parameter), $eq(parameter), $suffix(parameter), $contains(parameter)
