Resolution

This can be required in Distribution manager, nas alarm filters etc. You can use the following regex to include certain characters in a name while excluding those that have certain characters you don't want to include.

Examples to include:

abchyd
zyabc2
zyabc

If you want to get the ones which have "abc" but not "nim" in them, use the following regex:

/^(?!.*nim).*abc.*/
