Checking the effect of a pattern
The Check pattern tool (Maintenance > Tools > Check pattern) lets you test whether a pattern or
transform you intend to configure on the VCS will have the expected result.
Patterns can be used when configuring:
n Allow lists and Deny lists to specify aliases to be included in the lists
n Transforms to specify aliases to be transformed before any searches take place
n Search rules to filter searches based on the alias being searched for, and to transform an alias before the
search is sent to a zone
n Subzone membership rules to determine, based on the address of the device, to which subzone an
endpoint is assigned when it registers with the VCS
To use this tool:
1. Enter an Alias against which you want to test the transform.
2. In the Pattern section, enter the combination of Pattern type and Pattern behavior for the Pattern string
being tested.
l If you select a Pattern behavior of Replace, you also need to enter a Replace string.
l If you select a Pattern behavior of Add prefix or Add suffix, you also need to enter an Additional text
string to append/prepend to the Pattern string.
l The VCS has a set of predefined pattern matching variables that can be used to match against certain
configuration elements.
3. Click Check pattern to test whether the alias matches the pattern.
The Result section shows whether the alias matched the pattern, and displays the resulting alias
(including the effect of any transform if appropriate).
