entity selector with regex

David_Guillen — Fri, 31 May 2024 08:03:46 GMT

I create automaticaly tags with entity selector and my question is if i can use the regex in the entity selector.

I have this type(CLOUD_APPLICATION_NAMESPACE),toRelationships.isClusterOfNamespace(type(KUBERNETES_CLUSTER),fromRelationships.isClusterOfHost(type(HOST),hostGroupName.exists()))

I would like change hostGroupName.exists() for something that hostGroupName.name(Contain regex)

is it possible?

Thanks a lot

From my understanding, you cannot leverage regex in the entity selector from my understanding. You will be limited to the following documented rules.

Hi,

Maybe, you can raise a product idea about it.

Best regards
