Custom Group XML Format

To create a Custom Group, copy the following syntax in an XML file:

<groups>

<group name=" " type=" ">

<instances type=" ">

<instance>

<attribute name=" " value=" " operator=" " relation=" " />

</instance>

</instances>

</group>

</groups>

Note: Copy the attribute tag for each entity type that you want to define for the Custom Group.

The following table provides a description of the tags used in the above example.

Field Description
group name New Custom Group name.
type The Group type.
instances type Dimension table conformed to the K_CI table.
attribute name Name of the column in the dimension table defined in the <instance type> tag. The grouping is done based on the values from this column.
value

Node name in the dimension table for which you create the custom group.

Note: It is recommended that the grouping for the Custom Groups be done based on VM Hosts.

operator

Operator for searching the node name value. The operator value can either be LIKE or EQUALS.

Note: If you do not define an operator value, SHO considers the default value as EQUALS.

relation

Determines the relation between the attribute name and value. The relation value can either be AND or OR.

Note: If you do not define a relation value, SHO considers the default value as AND.
