For our network, all node hostnames are formatted as: <role>.<street>-<city>.<state>.<region>.domain.com
For our shiny new NPM install, I was hoping to build dynamic queries to group the nodes. The idea was to build a parent group for the region, then a child group for the street/city. Getting the child groups filled was easy, but the trickier part is what to do with the nodes that I won't ever fit into a child group. These might be on-off devices which I'd prefer to keep in the parent group. The tough part is that I have no idea how to build a dynamic query for the parent group to include the nodes that match a particular region and are NOT members of a child group. If there was a way to have a dynamic query filter for hostnames that 'do not contain' certain keywords, this could be easy enough. Does anyone know if there is a way to perfom some SQL ninja actions in the dynamic query interface to make this happen?
