HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3 Technical Reference Guide

An include filter includes one or more system filter expressions using the attributes names allowed for it. For

example, an

filter could consist of:

<include-filter type="os">

<node-filter name="OSName"

operator="eq" value="LINUX" />

<node-filter name="OSVendor"

operator="eq" value="RedHat" />

<node-filter name="OSRevision"

operator="ge" value="7.2" />

</include-filter>

The include filter does not need to include all attributes allowed. If more than one attribute is included, the

conditions are logically concatenated using the AND operator. An attribute cannot appear in an include

filter more than once, except that an attribute having a version number value can appear twice if one operator

is lt and the other operator is ge. For example:

<include-filter type="protocol">

<node-filter name="WBEM"

operator="lt" value="2.6" />

<node-filter name="WBEM"

operator="ge" value="2.4" />

</include-filter>

This would specify that the tool should be shown for any collection of systems supporting the WBEM protocol

version 2.4 or higher, but less than 2.6.

If a tool contains more than one include filter of different types, the conditions of the filters are logically

concatenated using the AND operator. A tool with both operating system and hardware dependencies can

use the filter:

<include-filter type="os">

<node-filter name="OSName"

operator="eq" value="LINUX" />

</include-filter>

<include-filter type="hardware">

<node-filter name="DeviceSubType"

operator="eq" value="HPVectra" />

</include-filter>

If a tool contains more than one include filter of the same type, the conditions of the filters are logically

separated using the OR operator. A tool available on two different operating systems can specify:
