cyb3rwulf, please explain your use case. I assume you want to list all unmounted objects, excluding those which are within a container. An object inside a container has the $unmounted tag because it is not explicitly mounted. It may reside in a container which is mounted. A tempting quick-fix is to adjust the generateEntityAutoTags() function like so: < if (!strlen ($cell['rack_id'])) < $ret[] = array ('tag' => '$unmounted'); > if (!strlen ($cell['rack_id']) and $cell['container_id'] == '') > $ret[] = array ('tag' => '$unmounted'); That would remove the '$unmounted' tag from all contained objects. However, it could also introduce inaccuracies. Take for example a 1U server acting as a VM hypervisor. It is contained within a 'VM Cluster' object but is not mounted. Using the aforementioned quick-fix, the server would not have the $unmounted tag, even though it is indeed unmounted. Determining whether or not an object is somehow physically mounted is possible, but it comes at a relatively high cost: - Perform a recursive operation which returns all of the object's containers (including containers of the containers, etc.). - Determine if any of them are physically mounted. If not, the $unmounted tag would be declared. |

As I understand you right, I am unable to filter my objects for unmounted devices using the $unmounted tag. In object tab_default is a column which indicates "mounted to..." there are the containers shown as well to the racks. My use case was to filter for the objects where this column says "unmounted". |

Ok, your explanation makes sense. Starting with 0.20.6, the $unmounted autotag won't be applied to objects inside a container. |
