In Big Brother, there was an unmatched rule where you could send a message to anything that did not match a rule to a specified email address. How would I accomplish this in Hobbit?

Put this at the end:

In BB, I had two channels for messages, a status message and a page message

For a particular test I would send:


bb-> status host,domain,com.disk red Fri May  11 11:16:33 EST 2007 Disk
partitions on host,domain.com OK
/dev/wd0s1a    496053    25081   431288     5%    /
/dev/wd0s4e   1998122  1094955   743318    60%    /home
/dev/wd0s2e   1489830  1094928   275716    80%    /usr
Bleh more html
Etc etc long status message


bb-> page host,domain,com.disk red Fri May  11 11:16:33 EST 2007 Disk
partitions on host,domain.com OK
/dev/wd0s2e   1489830  1094928   275716    80%    /usr


And that's it - none of the html extras from my status message.


In hobbit, it seems to page on status messages and ignore the page channel
messages

Is there a way to make this work in hobbit like it did in Big Brother?

Correct. Sending the same information twice is a waste of bandwidth, and
it also means you have to do the data analysis on the client - which is
contrary to the Hobbit design.

No, but You can write a custom alerting script to filter the alert messages.

I am having a problem with alerts going to the wrong people. I have a line
in hobbit-alerts.cfg:

HOST=%pan$

(this is just for demo and test purposes, I know that particular entry
doesn't make a lot of sense ) The problem is that this line is matching with
a host name "pandora". Is there any way to stop this?

Thanks,

HOST=%^pan$
or
HOST=pan


Hope that helps

Hang on there! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the point is that the $
should anchor the end of the string and it should never match pandora.
Right?

Nope, %^pan$ still matches 'pandora'.  The '$' should stop the match, but it
doesn't appear to be working.

I know HOST=pan works, what I gave was a simplified example for a larger
problem.

As it has been pointed out before somethings require double quotes ".
If that works, then this would be one of those cases.  All our regexes
are typically in double quotes.

So are you saying it should be HOST=%"^regex.*com$" or HOST="%^regex.*com$"  ?

That doesn't work, it prevents the string, HOST=%"^pan$" or HOST="%^pan$"
both prevent 'pan' from being matched.
