Select a query criteria

Define criteria so you can use them generating customized reports and creating query-based device groups. By default, OpenManage Enterprise provides a list of precanned query templates that you can use as-is or customize based on your requirements.

About this task

Define filters while creating query criteria for: Define the query criteria by using two options:
  • Select existing query to copy: By default, OpenManage Enterprise provides a list of system-defined query templates that you can copy and build your own query criteria. A maximum of six criteria (filters) can be used while defining a query. To add filters, you must select from the Select Type drop-down menu.
  • Select type: Build a query criteria from scratch by using attributes listed in this drop-down menu. Items in the menu depend on the devices monitored by OpenManage Enterprise. When a query type is selected, only appropriate operators such as =, >, <, and null are displayed based on the query type. This method is recommended for defining query criteria in building customized reports.
    NOTE:
    • When a query is evaluated with multiple conditions, the order of evaluation is the same as SQL. To specify a particular order for the evaluation of the conditions, add or take off parenthesis when defining the query.
    • When selected, the filters of an existing query criteria are copied only virtually to build a new query criteria. The default filters associated with an existing query criteria are not changed. The definition (filters) of a system-defined query criteria is used as a starting point for building a customized query criteria. For example:
      1. Query1 is a system-defined query criterion that has the following predefined filter: Task Enabled=Yes.
      2. Copy the filter properties of Query1, create Query2, and then customize the query criterion by adding another filter: Task Enabled=Yes AND (Task Type=Discovery) .
      3. Verify that Query1 still contains the filter criterion: Task Enabled=Yes.

Steps

  1. In the Query Criteria Selection dialog box, select from the drop-down menu whether to create a query criterion for Query groups or generate a report.
  2. Add or take off a filter by clicking the plus or dustbin symbol respectively.
  3. Click Finish.

Results

A query criterion is generated and saved in the list of existing queries. An audit log entry is made and displayed in the Audit logs list. See Monitoring audit logs.
