Regex

AKIPS API requires that:

• all regex strings be enclosed within / / (forward slashes)
• regex that contains spaces also be enclosed within " " (double quotation marks).

To negate regex, use the following syntax:

/!{regex}/

Be precise with your syntax so that it performs quickly and efficiently.

E.g. /^NewYork-Router/ is faster than /NewYork-Router/ because it specifies that the start of the match must begin with NewYork-Router.

Regex filters

You can use regex to filter data in Dashboards and Reports

Examples: Must match akips09 or akips134:

/akips09|akips134/

Must match AKDSQ, AKDSI, AKDPR, MSD or EIA:

/AKDSQ|AKDSI|AKDPR|MSD|EIA/

Match anything with SD followed by any number from 4 to 9:

/SD\[4-9\]/

Match anything that starts with fa or gi and only those from 0 to 5:

/^(fa|gi)[0-5]/

Check your regex:

Go to Tools > Regex Checker. Paste sample text into the text field.

Type the regex you want to check, without / / (forward slashes), into the Regex text field.
