Health Rule - Affected Entities

Daniel_Nash — Wed, 06 Jan 2021 16:02:01 GMT

When setting Affected Entities for Health Rules there is an option to state:

"Business Transactions matching the following criteria"

I have used this to exclude certain business transactions and set it to "Business Transactions matching the following criteria" NOT contains "_CatchAll"

I would like to exclude business transactions that have _CatchAll or GetCSS.aspx in the BT name - is this possible?

Can I simply set it to "Business Transactions matching the following criteria" NOT contains "_CatchAll,GetCSS.aspx"?

As the health rule does not have the option to use the "in list" condition, you will have to revert to regex

Just a simple test would look like this, that would match any BT name that does not have the following 2 words in the name

^(?!.*(_CatchAll|GetCSS.aspx)).*$

Not exactly sure how AppD would want the syntax and if it will work as above, however this piece works in normal regex
