HP Systems Insight Manager 5.2 Update 2 Technical Reference Guide

A system filter expression is used as part of an include filter expression. There are three types of include filter
expressions. Each type allows a different category of attribute names on which to be filtered.

Any protocol name, except HTTPprotocolProtocol Support

An include filter includes one or more system filter expressions using the attributes names allowed for it. For
example, an os filter could consist of:
<include-filter type="os">
<node-filter name="OSName"
operator="eq" value="LINUX" />
<node-filter name="OSVendor"
operator="eq" value="RedHat" />
<node-filter name="OSRevision"
operator="ge" value="7.2" />
</include-filter>
The include filter need not include all attributes allowed. If more than one attribute is included, the conditions
are logically AND'd together. An attribute cannot appear in an include filter more than once, except that
an attribute having a version number value can appear twice if one operator is lt and the other operator
is ge. For example:
<include-filter type="protocol">
<node-filter name="WBEM"
operator="lt" value="2.6" />
<node-filter name="WBEM"
operator="ge" value="2.4" />
</include-filter>
This would specify that the tool should be shown for any collection of systems supporting the WBEM protocol
version 2.4 or higher, but less than 2.6.
If a tool contains more than one include filter of different types, the conditions of the filters are logically
AND'd together. A tool with both operating system and hardware dependencies could use the filter:
<include-filter type="os">
<node-filter name="OSName"
operator="eq" value="LINUX" />
</include-filter>
<include-filter type="hardware">
<node-filter name="DeviceSubType"
