RE: [hobbit] Problem with Regular Expression in Alert

["Jones, Jason \(Altrincham\)" <JasonAS_Jones (at) mentor.com>]

:-) I did the same thing when I first changed our alerting, was swearing
at it for a while then realised, still reduced 20 conditions to 9 so all
worked out in the end.

Yes, that did it. For some reason didn't think of making the whole thing
a regex.

 

Thank you.

Hi Everyone,

 

I am having an issue where Hobbit will not take multiple alert
parameters if one of them is a regular expression. I have my hobbit
built with MRTG integration. My example is that I want to have my catch
all rule exclude all msgs and interfaces (in the format int01-08,
int09-16, ...). 

 

This works: COLOR=red EXSERVICE=%^int.*

This doesn't work: COLOR=red EXSERVICE=msgs,%^int.*

 

Does anyone have any hints, how to get this working? Maybe even a
logical approach to get it working and not necessary a technical
approach? 

 

Thanks.
