ers api filter on custom attributes?

Andreas Falk — Thu, 26 Oct 2017 20:52:18 GMT

Hi,

We are working on a webui to manage our mab endpoints.
We use:

"customAttributes": {

"hostName": "uffepuffe",

"modifyTime": "1508960991",

"adminUser": "admin",

"createTime": "1508960991",

"ipAddress": "1.2.3.4"

}

We tried to use ipAddress as a filter in the ers, but no cigarr.
Isn't it possible to search for customAttributes in the ers api?

Can someone confirm or deny the this?

Regards Falk

It is correct that you cannot filter based on custom attributes. Supported filters include portalUser, staticProfileAssignment, profileId, profile, groupId, staticGroupAssignment, and mac which are part of the core set of attributes.

You could fetch all endpoints and attributes but agree this is not a scalable way to manage objects for your use case, ie fetch via specific attribute using API. You could certainly view and filter and sort from Context Visibility but there is no option via UI to make attribute changes en masse, if that was the goal.
