hosts wildcards in clients-local.cfg
list Szymon Bakowski
Hello, Just wanted to ask a quick question (went through the archive, but haven't found an answer for my question): Is it possible to use host wildcards in clients-local.cfg file ? They do work for me for example in hobbit-clients.cfg but it seems that I can not make it work in clients-local.cfg. In hobbit-clients.cfg I am using for example as follows: HOST=%www..\.foo\.com but it doesn't work in clients-local.cfg. Any hints ? Thanks.

No, you cannot. The way around this is to use host "classes". The default class for a host is the name of the operating system - that's why the "[linux]" and "[hpux]" etc. sections work. You can change the class of a host either by configuring it with the CLASS:classname setting in bb-hosts, or by specifying the class on the client when you start the Hobbit client. It is a bit annoying that you cannot use regexp's in client-local.cfg. Might be something I change. Regards, Henrik

Thank you Henrik for your reply. Classes did help indeed. Can I use
them in other config files like for example in hobbit-clients.cfg ?

Yes, both hobbit-clients.cfg and hobbit-alerts.cfg support a CLASS=... way of selecting hosts. Regards, Henrik

I reported a bug of how setting class does not work when setting it client-side (unless it is fixed in latest snapshot), so this may not be an option unless they have patched. -Charles

Hi Henrik, you wrote that we can use CLASS=... in hobbit-alerts.cfg (see your attached email). But what is the right way to use this tag in hobbit-alerts.cfg? I didn't find anything in Hobbit man-pages. Regards. Massimo Morsiani Information Technology Dept.
