Problem with partial string match

[sickel]

I am reading in statusjson data from nagios.

A part of it:
nagiosexample.txt

I want to do a partial match on $.data.hostlist.[*].name, so I do

$.data.hostlist[?(@.name=~/bb/)].name

I would expect to get back [aaknes-bb]. What I do get is [-1, -1]. And indeed, if I do

$.data.hostlist[?(@.name=~/bb/)]. I get

{"name":-1,"plugin_output":"OK - x.y.z.z1: rta 726.213ms, (...)
{"name":-1,"plugin_output":"OK - x.y.z.z2: rta 710.566ms, (...)

and so on, rather than filtering, I have rewritten the json.

This may be the same issue as the jsonpath part of #185

hi @sickel , filte rexpressionss are not supported in the plugin anymore, since version 1.3.5, for security reasons (see https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/marcusolsson-json-datasource/?tab=changelog for more details).

in the https://grafana.com/docs/plugins/marcusolsson-json-datasource/latest/jsonpath/#filters section several possible workarounds are described. i hope this helps.
