* Another thing, when I do the same test as above, using hostname
"prod-web-12", which is a host that should NOT be excluded,
hobbitd_alert still says that it was excluded (same last line of output
as the
prod-web-11 test above).<br>
<br>
I have also tried enclosing the regex in quotes, which didn't work
either.<br>
<br>
If anyone has any insight, please let me know. I have contacted Henrik
about
this, but I believe he misread my email, as he suggested that I add $
to the
regex, which I had already tried...so now I am hoping that he or
someone else
sees this message and can see what Im doing wrong.<br>
