Instana must provide a "Matching Operator" that should be a 'NOT' (The 'NOT' is not available in the Instana UI drop down) for host entity types

Bradesco customer is moving from ITM into the realm of Instana. There are currently using several thresholds that involves checking a disk NOT equal to /disk-path-here. For example look at the below ITM situations;

i) *IF *VALUE KLZ_Disk.Inodes_Used_Percent *GE 70 *AND *VALUE KLZ_Disk.Mount_Point *NE '/directory/path/here' *AND *VALUE KLZ_Disk.Inodes_Used_Percent *LT 80

ii) *IF *VALUE NT_Physical_Disk.%_Disk_Time *GT 90 *AND *VALUE NT_Physical_Disk.Disk_Name *NE _Total

iii) IF *VALUE KLZ_Disk.Disk_Used_Percent *GE 85 *AND *VALUE KLZ_Disk.Disk_Used_Percent *LE 90 *AND *VALUE KLZ_Disk.Mount_Point *NE '/directory/path/here' *AND *VALUE KLZ_Disk.Mount_Point *NE '/directory/path/here' *AND *VALUE KLZ_Disk.Mount_Point *NE '/directory/path/here'

iv) *IF *VALUE KLZ_Disk.Disk_Used_Percent *GT 90 *AND *VALUE KLZ_Disk.Mount_Point *NE '/directory/path/here' *AND *VALUE KLZ_Disk.Mount_Point *NE '/directory/path/here' *AND *VALUE KLZ_Disk.Mount_Point *NE '/directory/path/here' *AND *VALUE KLZ_Disk.Mount_Point *NE '/directory/path/here'

v) and the list goes on....  Actual path is omitted due to privacy and added `/directory/path/here` instead to the above formulae.

Instana must provide a "Matching Operator" that should be equal to a 'NOT' (The 'NOT' is not available in the Instana UI drop down). This is only applicable to the HOST entity types. See the screen shot below for clarity. There is NO alternative to this (disk not equal to comparison) on Instana events configuration at the moment.

All the customer moving from ITM/APM into Instana needs this feature so that they could continue monitoring their envs.
