It's not a problem preventing functionality in this case, but %
patterns match using regular expressions not wildcards.<br>
<br>
The patterns aren't anchored by default (i.e. they match a
substring), so in fact the pattern %(server*|server2*) will match
any name which includes the string "serve" (optionally followed by
0 or more "r" characters) or "server" (optionally followed by 0 or
more "2" characters) - which is already matched by the first
pattern. So for example "abcserve123" will match.<br>
<br>
If you wanted to do anchored matching (i.e. not substrings) then
the following regular expression would be the equivalent for a
wildcard pattern:<br>
%(^server.*|^server2.*)<br>
or more compact:<br>
%^server2?.*<br>

Hey,<br>
<br>
I need some help to ignore this service. Have tried many
different ways of putting this in the code, but nothing seems
to work. Trying to ignore smtp for one host because it alerts
every time it turns on to send an email. Here is what i have
in the alerts.cfg:<br>
<br>
HOST=%(server*|server2*)<br>
IGNORE HOST=server* SERVICE=smtp<br>
MAIL <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:coreitstaff@ucsd.edu">coreitstaff@ucsd.edu</a>
REPEAT=999999 RECOVERED<br>
<br>
So the way i understand this is that it should be ignoring
smtp but still emailing about the other services. If anyone
has any ideas on what i may be doing wrong that would be
great.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
