CloudOps Orchestration Service:Aggregate or filter the collected data of a configuration list

After a configuration list is created, you can use the aggregate feature to view a summary of the collected data. For example, you collect the application information of 100 instances. You can use the aggregate feature to view the number of applications that are installed on each instance.

You can also specify application properties to filter the collected data. For example, if you set the Name property to curl, the instances that contain the application named curl are returned.

Limits

• Before you use the aggregate or filter feature, make sure that a configuration list is created and the collected data is submitted. For more information, see Create a configuration list.
