Dear All,

Is there a way to apply a condition on the metric events to exclude a particular host from the below built-in rule?

**builtin:host.cpu.steal** :filter(existsKey(“dt.entity.host”),not(remainder(“dt.entity.host”))):avg

Regards,

Babar

Would the query below work?

```markup
builtin:host.cpu.steal:filter(ne("dt.entity.host","HOST-3AA8614244B22695"),existsKey("dt.entity.host"),not(remainder("dt.entity.host"))):avg

```

Hello&nbsp;[@fcourbon](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/52880)

Thank you.

The following query should work, but how to use it in the metric events?

```markup
builtin:host.cpu.steal:filter(existsKey("dt.entity.host"),ne("dt.entity.host","HOST-E90312219E625BC0"),not(remainder("dt.entity.host"))):avg

```

Hi,

I would say using a [metric selector event](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/shortlink/metric-events-metric-selector-events#metricselectorevent).

Best regards

Hello&nbsp;[@AntonPineiro](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/58682)&nbsp;&&nbsp;[@fcourbon](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/52880)

Thank you.

Please help me to merge the following two queries to include the **osType** with the **ne** (to exclude the host).

```markup
builtin:host.cpu.steal:filter(and(or(in("dt.entity.host",entitySelector("type(host),osType(~"LINUX~")"))))):splitBy("dt.entity.host"):avg

```

```markup
builtin:host.cpu.steal:filter(existsKey("dt.entity.host"),ne("dt.entity.host","HOST-E90312219E625BC0"),not(remainder("dt.entity.host"))):avg

```

Hi&nbsp;[@Babar\_Qayyum](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/22017)&nbsp;,

I think it will be something like this:

builtin:host.cpu.steal:filter(and(or(in(“dt.entity.host”,entitySelector(“type(host),osType(~“LINUX~”)”))),existsKey(“dt.entity.host”),ne(“dt.entity.host”,“HOST-E90312219E625BC0”),not(remainder(“dt.entity.host”)))):splitBy(“dt.entity.host”):avg
