[Xymon] HOST regex

[Mills,David (HHSC Contractor)]

Paul -

As far as just the Perl RE goes, use this:

(iadncmds[1-6])|( iadccmds1[1-9])|...

So, in analysis.cfg: HOST=%(iadncmds[1-6])|( iadccmds1[1-9])| ...   # Where the "|..." includes the rest of your hosts, following a similar pattern

Use "[]"s to specify a range of numbers, not parens...

$  perl -e 'for ($i = 0; $i <= 7; $i ++ ) { if ( "iadncmds$i" =~ /iadncmds[1-6]/ ) { print "This matches: iadncmds$i\n" } else { print "iadncmds$i does not match...\n" } }'
iadncmds0 does not match...
This matches: iadncmds1
This matches: iadncmds2
This matches: iadncmds3
This matches: iadncmds4
This matches: iadncmds5
This matches: iadncmds6
iadncmds7 does not match...

Subject: [Xymon] HOST regex

I'm having trouble getting a regex going for hostnames in analysis.cfg

I've got machines   iadncmds1  through iadncmds6 and iadccmds1 through iadncmds9 and a couple other machines, all should/will have the same things to look at (ports, procs, etc).

I've tried the following:
HOST=%iad(ncm|ccm)ds(1-9),apancmdsd1,iadncmdsd2
HOST=%iad(ncm|ccm)ds\d,apancmdsd1,iadncmdsd2
HOST=%iad(ncm|ccm)ds.*,apancmdsd1,iadncmdsd2
HOST=%iad(ncm|ccm)ds(.*),apancmdsd1,iadncmdsd2

Any help here?

Thanks,
Paul.
