Using "IGNORE" to exclude filesystems

Yes, I always specify host names in analysis.cfg and alerts.cfg with a
leading caret and trailing $. It prevents a lot of unintentional matches,
since Xymon seems to put .* before and after the names before trying to
match them.

Thanks,
Larry Barber

 Adam is correct.  I was not putting much thought into the range, more
just that a caret and unescaped leading slash was required for Mike's
issue.  Also, I would not use .*, based on a practice of only matching what
you need, when you know what it is.  In this case it was known to be
01->27, and I borked that simple match :)

 Besides placing these above the DEFAULT stanaza I see alot of mishaps
when using the regex identifier % without the start of the line caret ^.

 I don't think that would work, you would need something like:
 HOST=edmprod
        DISK    %^/(da[0-1][0-9]|da2[0-7]) IGNORE
        DISK    * 95 98
