[hobbit] Looking for sample BBWIN configs for filtering Windows event logs

It looks like the ignore section only uses text matches, in this case 
regular expressions, right?  That would mean it can't match on event ID 
unless I encode something like "Print (8)" in a regular expression format.

Not that this is a huge problem, but having a nice clean field like 
event ID is one of the good things about BBWin's local config mode.  I'm 
just tired of having to remote into the client to change something, 
especially when I have to do it on more than one client.

Thanks for the info!  Only one more thing I'd want - do you have an 
examples of centrally defined service monitoring?
