Hi all,
I'm trying to set up my alerts and I cant quite get them working, a simple example of my config is as follows:
<snip> SERIVCE=conn COLOR=red TIME=W:0750:1710 EXPAGE=%.*/(hscs_servers|special|telemed) MAIL ees2y at pagehost.virginia.edu REPEAT=1 FORMAT=SMS </snip>
The problem, I believe, is in the EXPAGE line. When I remove said line, I get the conn pages, as expected, albeit all of the ones I was trying to remove with the EXPAGE line. When I include the EXPAGE line, I get pages for everything EXCEPT conn pages. Can anybody give me a clue as to how I should format the EXPAGE tag?
The SERVICE, COLOR, TIME and EXPAGE should go on one line.
The SERIVCE is a typo, but enough to throw the config-parser off track.
If you just want to avoid pages for hosts on the "hscs_servers", "special" and "telemed" pages, you can just look for those words without caring about where they appear in the page-path. Unless you use "anchors" - the ^ and $ signs - in the regexp, it will match anywhere in the page-path string.
So I think this does what you want:
SERVICE=conn COLOR=red TIME=W:0750:1710 EXPAGE=%hscs_servers|special|telemed MAIL ees2y at pagehost.virginia.edu REPEAT=1 FORMAT=SMS
