BPQL Object Formatting
The condition body parameter uses special BPQL object formatting. See BPQL Object Syntax for more information.
Example BPQL Objects:
| Command | BPQL String | BPQL Object |
|---|---|---|
Wildcard * | host = prod-api-* | { "=": [ "host", { "type": "regex", "value": "prod-api-*" }]} |
| Formal Regex Search | host = /prod-api-.*/ | { "=": [ "host", { "type": "formal-regex", "value": "prod-api-.*" }]} |
