# 🔍 Regex Filter for Even-Numbered Hostnames This regex is used in **Tanium filters** to match hostnames ending with an **even digit** in their first label. --- ## ✅ Even-Numbered Hostnames (FQDN) ```regex ^[^.]*[02468]\..+ ``` ^[^.]* → matches the first label (hostname part before the first dot). [02468] → requires it to end with an even digit. \..+ → ensures there is a domain suffix (must be a FQDN). Examples - pc100.dkcorp.net ✅ - pc8.lab.example.org ✅ - pc101.sud.dkcorp.net ❌ (ends with odd digit 1) - pc8 ❌ (not a FQDN, no dot) ## ✅ Even-Numbered Hostnames (Optional FQDN) ```regex ^[^.]*[02468](?:\..+)?$ ``` ^[^.]* → matches the first label (hostname part before the first dot). [02468] → requires it to end with an even digit. (?:\..+)? → optional dot + domain (accepts both hostname and FQDN) ✅ Examples Matches: - pc8 - pc100 - pc8.lab - pc100.dkcorp.net ❌ Does not match: - pc101 (ends with odd digit) - pc8. (nothing after the dot) - pc.8 (even digit not at the end of first label)
