3.5.1.8. Find Matches With A Query Postfix

This does the following:

• Get devices by hostname and add a filter for installed_software exists to the end of the query built by the command.

• This command builds a query for you, example (broken up due to length):

(
  specific_data.data.hostname == regex("WIN.*", "i")
)
and (
  (
    (
      specific_data.data.installed_software == ({"$exists":true,"$ne":[]})
    ) and specific_data.data.installed_software != []
  )
)

• This query will now not only return assets that match WIN.*, but also only assets that have Installed Software information.

$ axonshell devices get-by-hostname \
  --value "WIN.*" \
  --value-regex \
  --query-post 'and (((specific_data.data.installed_software == ({"$exists":true,"$ne":[]})) and specific_data.data.installed_software != []))' \
  --export-file device.json \
  --export-overwrite

3.5.1.8.1. Notes

Note

This example uses the devices get-by-hostname command, but it will work for any get-by-.. command for the devices and users command groups with the exception of get-by-saved-query (which uses the query built in to the saved query).
