    OK here is another PCRE issue with IGNORE pattern

    I have this on ~hobbit/server/etc/hobbit-clients.cfg

    HOST= host.domain.net <http://host.domain.net>;
    LOG /var/adm/messages "%(?-i)WARNING|(?-i)NOTICE|(?-i)ERROR"
    IGNORE=%Power.*Supply.*0.*NOT.*okay 


Is it suppose to be a bug in hobbit?


    But I still get alert as following

    &red Critical entries in <a
    href="/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?CLIENT=host.domain.net&amp;SECTION=msgs:/var/adm/messages">/var/adm/messages</a>
    &red Jul 13 15:04:34 host envctrltwo: [ID 771032 kern.warning]
    WARNING: Power Supply 0 NOT okay

    I did a pcretest and it did match so why is hobbit still alerting?

    (hobbit)@hobbit:~/server/etc$ pcretest
    PCRE version 4.5 01-December-2003

      re> "Power.*Supply.*0.*NOT.*okay"

    WARNING: Power Supply 0 NOT okay
     0: Power Supply 0 NOT okay

        Everything ok with your syntax, i just would try removing the
        double-quotes...

        BTW, If you need to ignore a phrase that uses spaces, use \s to
        separate, like the following syntax:
        LOG blablabla %blablabla IGNORE=%one\stwo\swords

        Another example: IGNORE=%one\stwo|other\sword|word

        Cheers

        Is this a valid syntax?

        LOG /var/adm/messages "%(?-i)WARNING|(?-i)NOTICE|(?-i)ERROR"
        IGNORE=%SUNWsrspx|srsxfer

        I want no alert for lines, in `/var/adm/messages',  that has
        either or both of these two words

        SUNWsrspx
        srsxfer

        Thanks

%(?-i) tells Hobbit to turn case-sensitive pattern matching on.
This should be used once per rule.
I would write your rules like this:

      HOST=host.domain.net
      LOG /var/adm/messages %(?-i)WARNING|NOTICE|ERROR
      IGNORE=%(?-i)Power\sSupply\s0\sNOT\sokay

      LOG /var/adm/messages %(?-i)WARNING|NOTICE|ERROR
      IGNORE=%(?-i)SUNWsrspx|srsxfer
