Problem with Regular Expression in Alert
list Geoff Hallford
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.

This should work: COLOR=red EXSERVICE=%(msgs|^int.*) Jason.

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

:-) I did the same thing when I first changed our alerting, was swearing at it for a while then realised, still reduced 20 conditions to 9 so all worked out in the end.
