Problems with IGNORE in hobbit-client.cfg

[thorsten.erdmann at daimler.com]

Hi

I have some difficulties to ignore some messages using the 
hobbit-client.cfg file.

I want to ignore all messages that contain the word 
"smb_proc_readdir_long".

So I build such rule:

HOST=s068a300
        LOG     %.* %(fatal|error)   COLOR=red 
IGNORE=smb_proc_readdir_long
        LOG     %.* warning          COLOR=yellow

I also tried IGNORE=%smb...

If I write a message to /var/log/user like this:

logger -p daemon.notice Testmessage ERROR smb_proc_readdir_long

the message is not ignored by Hobbit:

System logs at Fri Sep 4 11:08:39 CEST 2009

 Critical entries in /var/log/messages
 .2009/09/04 11:03:53][s068a300:daemon.notice] root: Testmessage ERROR 
smb_proc_readdir_long
 .2009/09/04 11:03:53][s068a300:daemon.notice] root: Testmessage ERROR 
smb_proc_readdir_long


Another question: if I have many IGNOREs, can I put them on multiple lines 
for readability like this:

HOST=s068a300
        LOG     %.* %(fatal|error)   COLOR=red 
         IGNORE=smb_proc_readdir_long
         IGNORE=blabla
         IGNORE=nonsense
        LOG     %.* warning          COLOR=yellow
