[hobbit] Could not use regular expressions in client-local.cfg [name] tag

[Aiello, Steve (GE, Corporate, consultant)]

You can also use the CLASS tag/parameter to define your particular group
of devices. From the bb-hosts man page:
  
CLASS:Classname
Force the host to belong to a specific class. Class-names are used when
configuring log-file monitoring (they can be used as references in
client-local.cfg
<http://cihcrpswas03.corporate.ge.com/bb/help/manpages/man5/client-local
.cfg.5.html> (5) and hobbit-clients.cfg
<http://cihcrpswas03.corporate.ge.com/bb/help/manpages/man5/hobbit-clien
ts.cfg.5.html> (5) to group logfile checks). Normally, class-names are
controlled on the client by starting the Hobbit client with the
"--class=Classname" option. If you specify it in the bb-hosts file on
the Hobbit server, it overrides any classname that the client reports.

not possible as other boxes also share the same os version. Solved this
issue for now, by writing a simple shell script which creates the
create-local.cfg file  
Thanks

do they share something common, like OS version?  You can group them

It is not clear what support there is for regular expressions, perhaps
it is already there for ignore, and trigger, but not log, file or the
hostname? 



Exactly

I tried the same regular expression as in hobbit-client.cfg and it
doesn't work. 
Tried on few servers without regular expression on hostnames and it
worked.
 
Please help as I have to configure clientt-local.cfg for hundreds of
servers :(
