OU filter as a user-defined filter

You can filter by configured asset information of the devices to assign the matching devices to the appropriate OUs.

Filter rules wit OU filter text

eLux devices send an OU filter text field containing their device information to the Scout Server. You can use the OU filter text field in the Scout Report Generator and for the user-defined OU filter. It includes the following information:

Host name, OS name, OS version, serial number, supplier, device type, UEFI/BIOS, CPU speed, model, kernel version, flash type, flash size, RAM size, graphics, IDF name, MAC address.

• A filter rule can contain one or more filter criteria.

• A filter criterion consists of three parts:

  asset information string from OU filter text

  | logical operator =

  | value you want to filter by

  Examples:

  ELUX_HOSTNAME=Melissa;
  
  ELUX_OSNAME=eLux RP;
  
  ELUX_OSVERSION=6.2302.0-3;
  
  ELUX_SERIAL=7250O422542;
  
  ELUX_SUPPLIER=WYSE;
  
  ELUX_DEVICETYPE=ZQ Class;
  
  ELUX_BIOS=V4.6.5.4 R1.15.0;
  
  ELUX_CPU=1500;
  
  ELUX_PRODUCT=ZQ Class;
  
  ELUX_FLASH=16GB SATA Flash;
  
  ELUX_FLASHSIZE=15272;
  
  ELUX_MEMORY=4096;
  
  ELUX_GRAPHICS=ATI AMD Radeon HD8330E;
  
  ELUX_IDF=recovery.idf;
  
  ELUX_MAC=7CD30A22D0AE

• Use the logical operators AND and OR to link multiple filter criteria. Use capital letters for the operators.

• Wildcards are not supported, but all matches will be found that begin with the specified string.

Examples filter rules:

ELUX_OSNAME=eLux RP AND ELUX_OSVERSION=6.2302.1
ELUX_DEVICETYPE=D3314-A1 OR ELUX_DEVICETYPE=ZQ Class
