Managing Job Tags

Adding Tags to Jobs

Job tags are managed from the inventory with the Configuration view. The right panel includes the list of tags assigned the selected job.

• Clicking the New Tag button allows adding a new tag.
• When using the syntax <tag-group>:<tag>, for example TicketPriority:low then the job is assigned the tag low which is a member of the tag group TicketPriority.
  • If the TicketPriority tag group does not exist, then it will be created.
  • Consider that case-sensitive spelling applies to tags and tag groups.
    
    

Updating Tags of Jobs

Job tags can be updated by removing an existing tag and adding a new tag.

Removing Tags from Jobs

Tags can be removed by clicking the "x" in the tag button.

Using Tags in Notifications

Tags can be used in JS7 - Notifications from the MON_OS_JOB_TAGS variable. 

The variable holds assigned tags and tag groups using the following syntax:

MON_OS_JOB_TAGS=[<group>:]<tag[,tag]>[[;<group>:]<tag>]

• If more than one tag is specified,, then they will be separated by a semicolon (;).
• If a tag group and tag should be assigned, then they are separated by a colon (:).

Examples:

• MON_OS_JOB_TAGS=TicketPriority:low
• MON_OS_JOB_TAGS=ProductDemo
• MON_OS_JOB_TAGS=TicketPriority:low;ProductDemo
