How to create dynamic serverclass without wildcard ?

Hello,

I would like to be able to create a serverclass based on our inventory, which is indexed in Splunk.
The problem with using wildcard is that our servers don't have a sufficiently detailed name to be able to determine the type of database that is running on it.
Example :
vm-db-1 -> MariaDB
vm-db-2 -> PostgreSQL
vm-db-3 -> MariaDB
vm-db-4 -> Oracle

With a Splunk query, I can easily find this information.

Is there a solution to my problem?

Thanks for your help 🙂
