HOSTS=... is incorrect. Try HOST=...
I suspect the first list of hosts is being included by default so it looks like they're matching the first regexp but actually aren't. The second group of hosts is also being included by default along with the first.

Hi
I am running Xymon server 4.3.30, and the vast majority of windows clients using BBwin, and trying xymonpsclient on a couple.
After advise from another users, I could successfully use central mode for services, which is ok for a couple of clients but then gets quite wieldy when it is going to be dozens.
I tried the following in analysis.cfg file
I created a regular expression for one pattern of hostnames, and then for the extra services that differ on certain servers, I added a specific host/service entry. This works fantastically well.
I then tried to add another regular expression for another pattern of hostnames, and would similarly try to add in exceptions.
This does not work, the machines with the new pattern are still being given the services list for the first pattern. What I also tried was removing the second regular expression and just have a specific host/service entry. That also does not work, as it still gets the original services list even though the hostname does not fit the pattern.
See below for excerpt from analysis.cfg
Does anyone have any idea how/if I can do what I am trying?
Regards
David Smith
