regex for ip address

[swright]

Is there a way to filter for Asset Names that are IP addresses?

@swright, with the new Lansweeper connector version, there is no need to escape twice the special characters in the regex. So now, the previous filter expression in the List of Assets action will look like this:

{
 conjunction: OR,
 conditions: [
 {
  path: "asset.general.name",
  operator: REGEXP,
  value: "^[0-9]{1,3}\\.[0-9]{1,3}\\.[0-9]{1,3}\\.[0-9]{1,3}$"
 }]
}

Thank you.  This is what I needed.

There are a couple of ways to do this.

The best option is filtering in the "List of Assets" action, so you only get the assets whose name is an IP address. Just one consideration, as you are passing a string, you need to escape special characters. But in this case, you'll need to escape them twice. For example, if your expression contains "\.", you should write "\\\\.". Here is a code example:

{
 conjunction: OR,
 conditions: [
 {
  path: "assetBasicInfo.name",
  operator: REGEXP,
  value: "^[0-9]{1,3}\\\\.[0-9]{1,3}\\\\.[0-9]{1,3}\\\\.[0-9]{1,3}$"
 }]
}

Another option is using the "Filter" action after a "List of Assets" action. In this case, you'll get all the assets in the first step, and will filter that list in the second step. Here, as you are using Javascript code, you can add forward slashes at the beginning and the end of the regular expression, so you don't need to escape characters. Example:

(item, index) => { 
  const IpRegex = /^[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}$/;
  return IpRegex.test(item.assetBasicInfo?.name);
}
