// only Subnets with 'SiteA' oder 'SiteB' in name
if (($object->type == 1) && (($object->name ~= ".*(SiteA.*)") || ($object->name ~= ".*(SiteB.*)")))
   return true;

Now the filtered map looks ok! But...

...only one new problem. Cluster nodes:
I tried to make an extention of the filtering script to handle clusters. But I found with a test script that cluster nodes has no node parents.

parents = GetObjectParents($object);
foreach(p : parents)
   println("Type: " . p->type . " Name: " . p->name);

Is this by design? With 'GetObjectParents' function I get neither the cluster-object nor the container as parent object. So all clusters nodes are missing on filtered maps.

it could be like this:

if ($object->type == 1)
   return true;  // allow all subnets

parents = GetObjectParents($object);
//if (parents == null) return false;
foreach(p : parents)
{
   if ((p->type == 5) && (p->name == "containerA" || p->name == "ContainerB")) return true;
}
return false;

You can also add additional contraints on subnet names as usual using $object->name.

When I add the subnets to the containers, I got the connectors in Layer3 map. But that's not very elegant. The other solution seems to be better.
How can I change my filter to allow the necessary subnet objects?

My current filter script is this:

parents = GetObjectParents($object);
//if (parents == null) return false;
foreach(p : parents)
{
   if ((p->type == 5) && (p->name == "containerA" || p->name == "ContainerB")) return true;
}
return false;

But do you have any idea why all connectors are missing on the filtered layer3 map?

I tried manually and automatic layout. At the moment it's automatic layout. On this map are routers, switches and end nodes.

Can you please also explain for short the trusted nodes in this situation (not in general).

thanks
Dani

links are not affected by map filter. Did you layout nodes by hand? If not, it seems as if links are there but just invisible. Just in case - check link color in map properties.

Now I hope Victor will see this thread soon.

Victor will have to shed more light on both the issues

I only see one VPN connector but no other 'normal' connectors. See the attached printscreen. Strange. All nodes on the left side should be connected to one of the VPN endpoints and the two on the right side with the other. In the map without the filtering script all connectors are there

You are not getting connectors as in the links connecting the nodes on the map?
I get those when using the filtering script.

I don't understand exactly why 'CheckTrustedNodes' has an influence here.
But when I set all nodes in a container to the Trusted Nodes of this container, this nodes appear on the map.

Thanks for the hint with the 'direct' parents.

parents = GetObjectParents($object);

foreach(p : parents)
{
   if (p->type == 5 && p->name == "Something") return true;
}
return false;

Two things to note:

1. it only takes "direct" parents of the node, its not upwards recursive, so doesnt take parents of the node's parents into account
2. CheckTrustedNodes (or equivalent security) will need to be correctly set

You can run the script directly on an object using "Execute server script" to check whats going on.
I suggest adding this into the foreach loop to make debug easier:

println("Type: " . p->type . " Name: " . p->name);

using $object instead of $1 -> Error 17 (Argument is not of string type and cannot be converted to string. So I changed to

parents = GetNodeParents($object);

-> Error 21 (Bad or incompatible object class), it's NetObj not Node class. So I tried this (most logical for me):

parents = GetObjectParents($object);

No error, but now the map is empty

I registered a ticket for the disable-bug
