    You can combine conditions with either “&&” (and) or “||” (or). For your example you can use:

    system.displayname=~"test" && device_type=~"server"

    These are called “AppliesTo” and you can read up all the details about it at https://www.logicmonitor.com/support/terminology-syntax/scripting-support/what-is-lms
