Metadata Policy

These policies attach metadata to nodes and to interfaces discovered during a node scan. Metadata is stored in the requisition context by default and can be referenced elsewhere through metadata expansion as ${requisition:key} — for example, in monitor, collector, threshold, and notification expressions. See Metadata for details on metadata and expansion.

Both policies assign a fixed value to every matching entity. To compute a value from the entity itself, use the Script Policy instead.

Both policies accept the common matchBehavior parameter and the ~ regular-expression prefix on criteria values. See Policies.
