      The Agent Selection page allows you to configure conditions to select BMC PATROL Agents based on the following properties, and the policy is applied on the selected agents.

      PropertyDescription

      Note: The argument to each matches property should be a strict regular expression.
      For example, the use of bppm will only match the exact string "bppm". With the use of wildcards .*bppm.* will match "bppm" as a sub-string of a larger string.

        Please provide sample values. How can I select all Unix, or all Windows agents?

        1. Rashmi Gokhale

          Hi Volker,

          To select all Unix based agents :

          • On the Agent Selection page, from the property list select “Agent Operating System”, and type “unix” in the search box .

          To select all Windows based agents:

          On the Agent Selection page, from the property list select “Agent Operating System”, and type "windows" in the search box.

          Hope this helps.

          Regards,

          Rashmi
