AttributesTypeDescription
criteriaObject(Dynamic groups only) Information about a simple criteria object or criteria set that select which managed devices are members of the dynamic group
Simple criteria is a query (logical rule) that compares property values. The following example selects managed devices whose contact is John@company.com.
{
"property": "contact",
"operator": "equals",
"value": "John@company.com",
}
A criteria set is the root of the tree structure that defines how the simple criteria are logically combined, using Boolean AND and OR relationships. The following example shows a criteria set that logically combines two simple criteria with an AND relationship. It selects managed devices whose contact is John@company.com and are in the Critical state.
{
"operator": "AND",
"criteria": [{
"property": "contact",
"operator": "equals",
"value": "John@company.com"
},
{
"property": "overallHealthState",
"operator": "equals",
"value": "Critical"
}]
}
