[hobbit] Regular Expression problem

[Manocchia, Robert]

Thanks. Since there are only 6 separate directories to check I listed
them all individually in the client-local.cfg file. The wildcards work
fine in the hobbit-clients.cfg file. Thanks again.

I think the problem is that the file list produced by the ls in the back
ticks is showing up as a list all on one line rather than a list of
files one per line. Not absolutely sure about that, but if you do an
echo `ls -1d ./someregexp` it produces one line of output. It might work
to actually write a script to make sure the output has newlines between
the  file names and then run that in the hobbit config instead of the
ls. 

 

Beyond that I have no idea.

 

Steve.

            I tried the following in local-clients.cfg: file:`ls -1d
/usr/sap/PRD/D01/work/core` and it worked. It just doesn't like the D0*
expression.

 

            Here is the cut and paste for each

 

            local-clients.cfg: file:`ls -1d /usr/sap/PRD/D01/work/core`

            hobbit-clients.cfg: FILE "%/usr/sap/PRD/D0.*/work/core"
NOEXIST yellow

Robert, 

 

Do the files show up in the client data listing on the server?

You might need to put the match string in the FILE statement in
hobbit-clients.cfg in double quotes.

            I have the following scenario. I want to monitor the
creation of core files in the following directories
/usr/sap/PRD/D01/work, /usr/sap/PRD/D02/work, usr/sap/PRD/D03/work,
/usr/sap/PRD/D04/work, /usr/sap/PRD/D05/work, and /usr/sap/PRD/D06/work.

 

            I have the following:

 

1.       In client-local.cfg: [server1]

                                    File:`ls -1d
/usr/sap/PRD/D0*/work/core`

 

2.       In hobbit-clients.cfg: FILE %/usr/sap/PRD/D0.*/work/core
NOEXIST yellow

 

3.       And in hobbit-alerts.cfg: MAIL Me at domain.com COLOR=yellow
RECOVERED

 

            This is not working. When click on the files for this server
I do not see these files being selected.

 

            Any help would be appreciated.
