An example of a Query for a Filter using the WFA Data Source for OCI of all clustered Data ONTAP aggregates not named aggr0:

select SUBSTRING_INDEX(sp.name, ':', -1), s.storageId, s.model, s.vendor, s.ip, s.family, s.self, sp.storagePoolId, sn.name, sn.storageNodeIdfrom oci.storagePool as sp,oci.storageNode as sn,oci.storage as swhere s.vendor = 'NetApp'and s.family = 'FAS'and sp.storageId = s.storageIdand sp.type = 'AGGREGATE'and SUBSTRING_INDEX(sp.name, ':', -1) not like '%aggr0%'and s.microcodeversion like '%clustered Data ONTAP%'

To create a new Data Source, follow these steps:

Create a backup of your WFA environment.
Import the OCI Data Source into your WFA server.
Use Execution->Data Sources and click New, entering IP, port, user and password credentials for the OCI server and set the timeout value to 3600.
After determining the amount of time to complete data acquisition from the Data Source, reduce the Timeout based on the speed of the OCI data acquisition.
