RE: Attribute Filter with Wildcard?

So using that syntax, it will only do the "do_something" if it is found?

It can be done, just not as part of all_instances. You will have to match
the hostname with a variable in the all_instances where list and call
substring/atompart:

all_instances(event: _EventMW of_class within ['maintenanceWindow']
                                where [
                                        status: outside ['CLOSED'],
                                        hostname: equals _mw_hostname,
                                        mwStartTime: _mwStartTime
                                ]
                        ),
atompart(_event_hostname,_mw_hostname,_,_),
do_something

I would like to run the all_instances command as below, but have it match
host names with or with the domain name.  In other words, If I submit a
maintenance window for host "TestHost1", I want the all all_instances
command to match for "TestHost1" and for "TestHost1.mydomain.com".  I looked
for an operator called Like, rather than Equals, but did not find anything.
Also, FYI - all host names are converted to upper case so case is not an
issue.

Can this be done?  

                all_instances(event: _EventMW of_class within
['maintenanceWindow']
                                where [
                                        status: outside ['CLOSED'],
                                        hostname: equals _upper_hostname,
                                        mwStartTime: _mwStartTime
                                ]
                        ),

Thanks.
