Wildcard/regexes for hostnames in client-local.cfg
list Mike Burger
I've looked over the client-local.cfg man page, and don't see anything either allowing or disallowing this, so I figured I'd ask before trying it out. I have a group of servers where I'm going to be doing file presence monitoring (alarm if the file exists). These servers will have fairly similar names, so I'd like to be able use a regex in the hostname field ( [hostname] ) rather than have to create a separate entry for each server. Is this possible? Failing that, could I list the hostnames in one [...] similar to the alerts.cfg file? Thank you. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org "It's always suicide-mission this, save-the-planet that.

Similarly, can I do so in analysis.cfg? -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org "Once word leaks out that a pirate's gone soft, people begin to disobey you and then it's nothing but work, work, work, all the time." --Westley/The Dread Pirate Roberts

You can do that in analysis.cfg, but unfortunately not in
client-local.cfg. Client-local is doing simple textual matching first on
hostname, then hostclass, then hostos.
For analysis.cfg (and alerts.cfg), you'd use PCRE strings in a HOST= line,
like:
HOST=%db.*.foo.com TIME=W:0800:1600
LOAD 8.0 12.0
DISK /db 98 100
PROC mysqld 1
