Abhijit actually i came across that one & tried below .. "per the documents" .. which were confusing BTW .. soon i will give link
filters: - "tag_category.OS is defined and 'Ubuntu16.04' in tag_category.OS" I had difficult time to get this tested .. as for "tags" you see some extra stuff install & that install though looks straighforward but took me for spin .. so i am more into fixing the python issues ... May be you can help.. soon i will give all i tried & error i got ..
