[Xymon] Alerting on the existence of a file with wildcards [RESOLVED]

[Michael Burger]

Here's what finally worked for generating the alarms:

 

FILE %/opt/WSCluster.*/WebSphere/wp_profile/javacore.* yellow NOEXIST

 

I believe that the .* after "WSCluster" was terminating the initial
regex, as what I was seeing was the same behavior (white with files not
found, green when the files existed). Setting "javacore" to "javacore.*"
as well generated the yellow alarms I was looking for.

Doh!  Yes, what he said.  I parsed the strings starting at the percent.
Oops.
