Regex validation for IP address fields in Azure workbooks

Question

I am using Azure workbooks to define parameters like src_ip and dst_ip, which are IP address fields. What is the regex validation required for these fields?

Answer 1

The regex validation required for IP address fields in Azure workbooks depends on the specific validation rules you want to apply. For standard and password text parameters, you can add validation rules that are applied to the text field using a valid regex with an error message. If the match is selected, the field is valid if the value matches the regex. If the match isn't selected, the field is valid if it doesn't match the regex.

To validate IP addresses specifically, you can use regex patterns such as \b\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\b or \b(?:[0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}\b. These patterns will match IP addresses in the format of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number between 0 and 255.

However, it's important to note that Microsoft Customer Service & Support can't assist with creating custom classifications or regular expression patterns. Support engineers can provide limited support for the feature, such as providing sample regular expression patterns for testing the feature, or assisting with troubleshooting an existing regular expression pattern that's not triggering as expected. However, support engineers can't assure you that any custom content-matching development fulfills your requirements or obligations.
