Yes, that did it. For some reason didn't think of making the whole thing a
regex.

Thank you.

Hi Everyone,


I am having an issue where Hobbit will not take multiple alert parameters
if one of them is a regular expression. I have my hobbit built with MRTG
integration. My example is that I want to have my catch all rule exclude all
msgs and interfaces (in the format int01-08, int09-16, ...).


This works: COLOR=red EXSERVICE=%^int.*

This doesn't work: COLOR=red EXSERVICE=msgs,%^int.*


Does anyone have any hints, how to get this working? Maybe even a logical
approach to get it working and not necessary a technical approach?


Thanks.
