Example Queries:

# Find targets with update errors
updateStatus==ERROR

# Find targets by name pattern
name==device-*

# Find targets with specific distribution set assigned
assignedDistributionSet.name==Firmware;assignedDistributionSet.version==2.0.0

# Find targets that haven't polled in 24 hours (timestamp example)
lastTargetQuery=lt=1704067200000

# Find targets by tag
tags.name==production

# Find targets by metadata
metadata.location==factory-A
