[Xymon] IGNORE ignored

[Phil Crooker]

I've found the quotes to be problematic. Try escaping each space, or truncating the string:
 
LOG=/var/adm/messages IGNORE=terminal-device\ not\ specifiedby\ login
 
or
 
LOG=/var/adm/messages IGNORE=terminal-device.*login
 
These are a pain....

In the server/etc/analysis.cfg file I have the following:

HOST=ourserver1
LOG=/var/adm/messages IGNORE="%terminal-device not specifiedby login%"
# LOG=/var/adm/messages IGNORE="terminal-device not specifiedby login"


I want to ignore messages containing the string "terminal-device not specifiedby login"

Unfortunately it doesn't work.

What am I doing wrong?
