analysis.cfg failed alerting 🔗 link

In client-local.cfg

file:`ls -1 /opt/powermonitor-notices/*`

On the files column I see

green /opt/powermonitor-notices/noticeofpowerfailure.192.168.97.10

Now in the hobbit-clients.cfg (AKA analysis.cfg now) configuration
neither of these work

        FILE
/opt/powermonitor-notices/noticeofpowerfailure.192.168.97.10 red
noexist
        FILE    noticeofpowerfailure.192.168.97.10 red noexist
        FILE    %noticeofpowerfailure* red noexist

Ideally I would like the last one there to work so I don't need to
specify the IP and can simply use a regular expression and cover all
of them.

You're not using the asterisk (*) correctly for a regular expression.
It matches zero or more of the previous character, in this case, "e".
Instead try this:

     FILE    %noticeofpowerfailure.* red noexist

The dot matches anything, and is not a literal dot in regular expressions.

You haven't said what you're trying to do.  The "noexist" check will
generate an alert if the file exists, which might be counter-intuitive
depending on your frame of mind.  Is that what you want?

I changed it to %noticeofpowerfailure.* red noexist and will wait to
see what happens.  Thanks for the clarification.

The check is right.  I tested that earlier with a less complex method.
 If there is any file that comes up with ls noticeofpowerfailure* then
I want to know.  If the file exists, that means there is a site
without power.
