is there a possibility to use regexp in file analysis.cfg when configuring SVC for windows machines ? 🔗 link

Hi !

I'm running xymon 4.3.7 server running on HP-UX 11.31 ia64 using central mode.

We have configured the analysis.cfg for windows clients like:
...
        SVC "DNS"               status=started color=yellow
        SVC "Dfs"               status=started color=yellow
        SVC "Dhcp"              status=started color=yellow
        SVC "Dnscache"          status=started color=yellow
        SVC "HealthService"     status=started color=yellow
        SVC "IsmServ"           status=started color=yellow
        SVC "LanmanServer"      status=started color=yellow
...
Everything works OK
But Now and then when the Windows servers are restarted then
The service name starts up with a different Case !!!

So typically the   LanmanServer service suddenly shows lanmanserver or Lanmanserver !!!
Or w32time suddenly shows itself as W32time  ...


is it  possible to use regexp in file analysis.cfg when configuring SVC for windows machines ?
like    SVC  [W|w]32time status=started color=yellow
or     SVC    [L|l]anman[S|s]erver  status=started color=yellow

Tomas,

I am doing that in some cases, here's an example:

SVC %(W3SVC|Tomcat6) startup=automatic status=started

I have some service monitoring such as:

        SVC "%[Ee]ventlog" startup=automatic status=started
        SVC "%(?i)LanmanServer" startup=%.* status=started COLOR=yellow

First is just alt chars in pos 1 (you don't use | between options inside
[] as your possibilities above), 2nd is match any case.
