Change in functionality of the IN operator

December 2, 2024

The APEX AIOps team announces that the IN operator in scope queries in APEX AIOps Incident Management will be updated to function in a standardized way as of December 2, 2024.

This change may affect your organization if you currently use an IN operator in scopes for metric policies, correlation definitions, maintenance windows, or workflows. If you have the OnCall feature enabled, this could potentially impact notification policies.

Starting on December 2, the IN operator in scope queries only returns true for exact matches. In prior releases, the IN operator performed a CONTAINS operation on strings and would return true when part of a string matched. The IN operator no longer returns true for partial matches within a string. Refer to Example 5, “The in operator” for details on the new behavior of the IN operator.
