CFXQL - CFX Query Language
What is CFXQL
CFX Query Language or CFXQL is a Query language that is flexible enough for both human and programmatic approaches, that can be used to query different data sources.
CFXQL allows users to query the data in the cfxDimensions platform in an effective, efficient way.
CFXQL Overview (architecture)
Structure of CFXQL
Each CFXQL query can be one or more logical conditions followed by GET command, followed by column names.
CONDITIONS GET col1, col2 as ‘LABEL1’. The example usage is
1
Equipment_Type is 'CHASSIS'orEquipment_Type is 'CHASSIS' and first_seen is after 'Sep 15 2020, 10am'or (Equipment_Type is 'CHASSIS') and (first_seen is after 'Sep 15 2020, 10am')

Example Queries for AIA
Following list captures simple and complex queries that users can run in cfxAIA environment.
- Simple Queries
- sw_type = ‘IOS’
- sw_type == ‘IOS’
- sw_type eq ‘IOS’
- sw_type is "IOS"
- sw_type equals ‘IOS’
- sw_type is equal to ‘IOS’
- sw_type in [ ‘IOS’, ‘UCS’ ]
- sw_type is in ‘IOS’, ‘UCS’
- sw_type contains ‘OS’
- sw_type ~ ‘OS’
- sw_type does contain ‘OS’
- sw_type !~ ‘OS’
- sw_type does not contain ‘OS’
- Sw_type not-contains ‘OS’
- Sw_type starts with ‘UC’
- sw_type ^~ ‘UC’
- sw_type starts-with ‘UC’
- sw_type starts with other_column_name
- product_family is empty
- product_family is blank
- product_family is null
- product_family is not empty
- product_family null
- product_family not null
- Complex queries
- sw_type is equal to ‘NX-OS’ and product_family contains"7000" or Sw_type is equal to ‘NX-OS’ and product_family contains"9000" and os_version contains ‘9.’ and serial_number is not blank
- (sw_type is equal to ‘NX-OS’ and product_family contains"7000") or (Sw_type is equal to ‘NX-OS’ and product_family contains"9000" and os_version contains ‘9.’)
- (sw_type is equal to ‘NX-OS’ and product_family contains"7000") or ((Sw_type is equal to ‘NX-OS)’ and (product_family contains"9000" and os_version contains ‘9.’))
- sw_type == ‘NX-OS’ & product_family ~"7000" | sw_type = ‘NX-OS’ & product_family ~"9000" & os_version ~ ‘9.’
In addition to the above queries, the following queries provide examples from cfxAIA using asset-db:assetLCMMaster dataset.
1
