Device Grouping By IP Inconsistant

Help
1

I am trying to group devices by subnet, but I get odd results.

  • Group 1: %ipv4_addresses.ipv4_address ~ “10.6.10.@” ||
    This group does not find any devices, I have 69 devices under the 10.6.10.0/24 subnet

  • Group 2: %ipv4_addresses.ipv4_address ~ “10.6.0.@” ||
    This group finds 63/69 devices that it should under the 10.6.0.0/24

I have tried a bunch of different combinations of this and can’t seem to get it to do what I want.

Here is the validate.php

and

  • Group 1: %ipv4_addresses.ipv4_address ~ “10.6.10.” &&
    No devices show up

  • Group 2: %ipv4_addresses.ipv4_address ~ “10.6.0.” &&
    Same amount of devices show up

It does not appear to have made a change.

It is actually using a regex so . matches any character

put back slashes in front of periods like this:
10\.6\.10\.

Tried that with group 1 and it didn’t work.

%ipv4_addresses.ipv4_address ~ "10\.6\.10\." ||

post a screenshot of the device group so we can make sure everything is getting typed in correctly.

on the first one you are missing the dot at the end of 10

Group 2 seems to work, except for 6 devices, so I can’t make sense of it. I have tried matching on sysname and I get similar weirdness, one group will match the name on almost every device that it should and the other will match against 0, when it should match against 69.

If it was me i would just do it by sysname or hostname or location or os etc. anything but IP. Ip for device group has always been kinda wonky for me. just my 2 cents.

Yeah, that actually is working for me with both groups. This should work long term for me ok, I’ll just have a few groups with some extra rules to match for.
