Can you use a wildcard symbol in this field? Something like 'os match ios*'

Hi All,

I hope somebody can help. I’m currently trying to add device alerts for all my Cisco devices. As per the example in the alerting guide I’ve used ‘os equals iOS’ which works perfectly for my iOS devices but doesn’t alert on any of my XR devices.

I gave 'os match iOS’ a go but that again only gives iOS devices.

‘os equals iosxr’ pulls the XR devices but obviously not the iOS devices.

I’ve also tried the two statements on separate lines and that just breaks the checker.

Is there any way to put the iOS and XR devices on one checker (based on os) or am I going to have to look into selecting on hostname or something similar?

Thanks

Since the OS names are ios and iosxr you should be able to do “os match ios*” to catch them both, wildcards are supported when using match.
