RE: [hobbit] How to totally disable alerts for a particular host?

["Brodie, Kent" <brodie (at) mcw.edu>]

In truth, I think my issue is I'm not completely understanding the "perl
compatable" regular expressions.  Can someone perhaps include some
examples?

I am finding that some of my attempts below are actually causing ALL
alerts to simply cease--  with nothing in the log files to indicate I
have an issue!!!

I'm not sure I understand the docs here...  is something like this
correct?   

# These rules eliminate printers from warnings/alerts
##HOST=%^pr*.hmgc.mcw.edu
##      IGNORE
HOST=lp4.phys.mcw.edu
        IGNORE
##HOST=%^hp*
##      IGNORE
# Misc hosts we do not want alerts on
##HOST=mac1.hmgc.mcw.edu
##      IGNORE
##HOST=canadeo-disk.brc.mcw.edu
##      IGNORE
##HOST=sharpe.phys.mcw.edu

HOST=bc1s7.phys.mcw.edu
        IGNORE
