This article was updated to support v11.7.8 of Goliath Performance Monitor.
This feature of Goliath allows one to filter in or out particular elements from their VMware, XenServer and Citrix environment. With our API integrations, Goliath is able to populate the entire inventory, but due to the size of your environment, you may not want to see and monitor all components. In this section, we will explain how to use the inventory filter.
Inventory Filtering from the ‘First Time Run Wizard’
- The INCLUDE section: Select a Server or Group TYPE from the drop down list. Then type a comma-delimited list of Server or Group names you want included in Inventory. All other Servers or Groups not listed for the selected TYPE are ignored. Start each Inventory specification on a new line. Multiple entries of the same or different TYPE allowed. The wild-card, asterisk character, '*', is accepted as the first or last character in a name.
- The EXCLUDE section: Select a Server or Group TYPE from the drop down list. Then type a comma-delimited list of Server or Group names you want excluded from Inventory. All other Servers or Groups not listed for the selected TYPE are included in inventory. Start each Inventory specification on a new line. Multiple entries of the same or different TYPE allowed. The wild-card, asterisk character, '*', is accepted as the first or last character in a name.
