<p>Maybe we can handle that by making the group categories as rule target.</p>
<p>The category would targets all nodes contained in its childs.</p>
<p>That would fit well in the webapp, and should be easy to understand.</p>
<p>What do you think about that ?</p> Rudder - User story #3421: Nested groupshttps://issues.rudder.io/issues/3421?journal_id=176642013-05-23T09:47:22ZDennis Cabooterdcabooter@snow.nl
<ul></ul><p>I'm not sure if I understand what you mean. I will provide a user case. Let's take the groups I mentioned above: Ubuntu Servers, Ubuntu 10 Servers, Ubuntu 12 Servers.</p>
<p>We use different configurations on Ubuntu 10 Servers and Ubuntu 12 Servers, like software repositories. However, most configurations are suitable for both Ubuntu 10 and Ubuntu 12 Servers.</p>
<p>At the moment I can do two things to accomplish this. Or I create three separate groups, Ubuntu Servers, Ubuntu 10 Servers, Ubuntu 12 Servers, based on regexp. Or I just create two separate groups, Ubuntu 10 Servers, Ubuntu 12 Servers, and bind those two groups to one directive.</p>
<p>It would be nice if I was able to create two groups, Ubuntu 10 Servers, Ubuntu 12 Servers, based on regexp. And then make an Ubuntu Servers group which contains both groups.</p> Rudder - User story #3421: Nested groupshttps://issues.rudder.io/issues/3421?journal_id=198952013-08-29T18:18:40ZMichael GliwinskiMichael.Gliwinski@gmail.com

<p>I'll pitch in here and say I think this would work, yes. This also has the additional benefit that categories and groups are already represented hierarchically which is a useful visualization for groups/subgroups.</p>
<p>Another way would be to add query criteria like "is member of".</p> Rudder - User story #3421: Nested groupshttps://issues.rudder.io/issues/3421?journal_id=246092014-02-25T12:31:18ZDennis Cabooterdcabooter@snow.nl
<ul></ul><p>What is the status of this ticket? Can someone look at it?</p> Rudder - User story #3421: Nested groupshttps://issues.rudder.io/issues/3421?journal_id=246112014-02-25T12:36:56ZOlivier Maurasolivier@mauras.ch
<ul></ul><p>I agree with the categories being targets in rules. That would make a lot of sense, and would make things easier.</p> Rudder - User story #3421: Nested groupshttps://issues.rudder.io/issues/3421?journal_id=246122014-02-25T13:50:20ZFrançois ARMANDfrancois.armand@rudder.io

<ul></ul><p>Would be still nice to have this. CFEngine can do it actually.</p> Rudder - User story #3421: Nested groupshttps://issues.rudder.io/issues/3421?journal_id=468822015-10-22T10:08:34ZMaxime Longuetm.longuet@itika.net
<ul></ul><p>Yes Very nice. I'm think add in the Filter of dynamic Group choice : Rudder Group Name (== / !=).</p>
<p>With this feature, response of make group intersection on applied rule can have solution.</p> Rudder - User story #3421: Nested groupshttps://issues.rudder.io/issues/3421?journal_id=722152017-03-02T21:03:20ZBenoît PECCATTEbenoit.peccatte@rudder.io
