Datasource OS filter

Locked

Discussion interactions are currently paused.

I noticed a Filter option within the datasource "VMware_vSphere_vDiskCapacity" but not sure of the "Attribute" and "Value" to use to filter/include only discovery of Linux devices. Is it possible to use the filter for this purpose? If so, what should I use for "Attribute" and "Value"?

@BrianG,

Here's our documentation on DataSource discovery filters - unfortunately, we're not getting any information back from VMware about the OS that these virtual disks are attached to, so we'd have no way of filtering out non-Linux virtual disks for this DataSource - unless it was somehow denoted in the name, at which point we could potentially use that as our filter criteria.

Thanks,

Kerry
