Tracking null system.category

Locked

Discussion interactions are currently paused.

I'm doing a moderately large new install of logicmonitor in multiple datacenters and found that if I come across a system that's being firewalled or blocked in general, it has a null system.category.

I've been fiddling with using Dynamic Groups and have hit on a problem where I can't actually determine if system.category is null. I've tried hasCategory(""), system.category =~ "" , system.category !~ "*", and join(system.category,",") =~ ""

Any guidance would be appreciated.

@Dan_Wood You should be able to check for devices with an empty system.categories property using this dynamic group query:
<span class="pln">!system.categories</span>

That works like a champ, one caveat though is that it does not factor in inherited system.categories but that is to be expected.

Thank you again!
