Hi

In hobbit-client.cfg we tried following rule:

    LOG %.* WARNING yellow

But messages with "WARNING" never trigger a yellow status.


When we put a regexp like this:

    LOG %.* %WARNING yellow


Messages with "WARNING" AND "warning" (small caps) trigger a yellow status
Is this the expected behaviour?



Dominique


I would hope that is not the expected behavior. But I can confirm that I am having the same. It matched on upper and lower cases.

Dominique,

It seems that pcre is defaulted to caseless matching. Set (?-i) to turn off PCRE_CASELESS. See pcre man pages http://www.pcre.org/pcre.txt.

Example my testing using that setting.

hobbit.clients.cfg:
        LOG     /var/log/messages %(?-i)WARNING yellow
        LOG     /var/log/messages %(?-i)FAILED red

/var/log/messages file:
test FAIL 1
test FAILED 1
test fail 1
test failed 1
test WARN 1
test WARNING 1
test warn 1
test warning 1

Web page results:
Critical entries in /var/log/messages
yellow test WARNING 1
red test FAILED 1

Thanks a lot John for this tip, I will try this asap.
This means that I have to double check all my DISK/PROC settings because I nead case sensitive matching there to!
