ValueMatch

ValueMatch is a method (or type) of rule used to assign a state to your asset.

Parameters

NameUsage
propertyThe ARDI property to read from
regexThe regular expression to match with
nameThe state of the value of property matches regex

Notes

The 'property' value should be the name of an ARDI property found on all of the resources.

The 'regex' value should be a regular expression that is matched against the value of that property.

Matching with Specific Values

If you're matching with a single value, such as the example below…

{
   "name": "Stopped",
   "method": "ValueMatch",
    "property": "Speed",
    "regex": "0"
}

The rule above will change the state of your resource to 'Stopped' if Speed drops to 0.

The Default Status

You can match with anything using the '*' symbol.

{
   "name": "Unknown",
   "method": "ValueMatch",
    "property": "Speed",
    "regex": "*"
}

This will set the status to 'Unknown' if the value of 'Speed' is anything at all - working as a 'default' or 'fallback' status.

Extracting a Secondary Status

If you have a group in your regular expression, this is used as your secondary state.

{
   "name": "Constrained",
   "method": "ValueMatch",
    "property": "Status",
    "regex": "Stuck Behind (.*)"
}

This will change the status to 'Constrained' when the 'Status' property contains “Stuck Behind ” followed by a name. This name is then used as the secondary status

For example, if the machine status was 'Stuck Behind Unit 5', the final status would be Constrained:Unit 5.
