This is still bugging the hell out of me.  It's consistently sending to the wrong alert group.  I tried running

../bin/xymond_alert --test tbowl-midtier wksbasic --color=red



This seems to want to match on the wrong rule and I'm damned if I can see it.

00010238 2015-11-23 09:30:38 Matching host:service:dgroup:page 'tbowl-midtier:wksbasic:SAS Servers:TBowl' against rule line 137
00010238 2015-11-23 09:30:38 *** Match with 'HOST=%(eu1[ed]|eucass[1-4]|dse|wsssl[6-7]|tier|eu-|wpentaho|wmysql).*' ***

It does seem that it is matching on the correct rule also...

00010238 2015-11-23 09:30:38 Matching host:service:dgroup:page 'tbowl-midtier:wksbasic:SAS Servers:TBowl' against rule line 144
00010238 2015-11-23 09:30:38 *** Match with 'HOST=%(tbowl-).*' ***

Here are the 2 relevant rules:

137   HOST=%(eu1[ed]|eucass[1-4]|dse|wsssl[6-7]|tier|eu-|wpentaho|wmysql).*

  144   HOST=%(tbowl-).*

What am I missing?

Yep.  It shows up.  It's really bizarre as I couldn't find anything that might trigger it but it stopped alerting to the wrong group as soon as I added a config file for that host group.

Is the line visible from xymond_alert --dump-config as such? After a
directory entry, it should simply continue on parsing from there in the
original file.
