This is the data in /var/adm/messages file

This is the entry in hobbit-client.cfg

 LOG /var/adm/messages "%(?-i)WARNING|(?-i)ERROR" IGNORE=%fcsm.*

I also tried %.*fcsm.* with no avail

But I am still getting alerts for that line in messages file

What am I doing wrong?
Still looking for a suggestion

Try this : IGNORE=%(?-i)fcsm.*
You can then try that regexp with "hobbitd_client --test"

Just tried that. Still getting `red'

(hobbit)@hobbit:~/server$ ./bin/bbcmd hobbitd_client --test

I am wondering if hobbit is misbehaving?!

I could test your rule successfuly on our Xymon installation:

[bb at iris bin]$ ./hobbitd_client --test
Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) []: iris
Hosttype []:
Test (cpu, mem, disk, proc, log, port): log
log filename: /var/adm/messages

fcsm(0): fc packet to DID 0xfffffa failed state: Packet Transport 
error(0xe); reason: No Connection(0x5)
log line:
Log status is green

Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) [iris]:


- Make sure you don't have other rules for /var/adm/messages in 
hobbit-clients.cfg.

- Check your pcre installation.

[bb at iris bin]$ pcretest
PCRE version 7.7 2008-05-07

The above check shows that pcre is behaving as expected. (see man page 
for pcretest)
