Creating a Dynamic Group

Writing Matching Rules

A rule specifies one or more conditions for membership in the dynamic group. Type the rule into the text box. To add another rule, select the +Another Matching Rule button.

A rule with a single condition has the following syntax:

variable = | != value

A rule with multiple conditions has the following syntax:

any | all {variable =|!= value, variable =|!= value,...}

variable is one of the following:

• instance.compartment.id. The OCID of the compartment where the instance resides.

• instance.id. The OCID of the instance.

• tag.tagnamespace.tagkey.value = tagvalue. The tagnamespace, tagkey, and tagvalue all must match to include this resource in the group.

• tag.tagnamespace.tagkey.value. Only the tagnamespace and tagkey must match to include this resource in the group. The value of the tag is not considered.

The following matching rule includes all instances in the specified compartment:

instance.compartment.id = 'ocid1.compartment.unique_ID'

The following matching rule includes all instances in the specified compartment except for the two instances specified with instance.id !=:

all {instance.compartment.id = 'ocid1.compartment.unique_ID',
 instance.id != 'ocid1.instance.unique_ID', instance.id != 'ocid1.instance.unique_ID2'}

The following matching rule includes all instances that have a tag applied that has tag namespace Product1, key ProjectA, and value abc123:

tag.Product1.ProjectA.value = abc123
