In future, you can test your regular expressions using xymon's "xymondboard" message type. Just set host to whatever follows the "%" and it will give you what matches. So to test "%soldb" you do this (from the Xymon server):
$ xymoncmd xymon localhost 'xymondboard host=soldb'

I’m trying to get alerts working for a group of servers that have **soldb** in the server name but I can’t seem to figure out the right syntax. Can anyone give me a hand with a **whatever** syntax? What I have at the moment is LOAD 70 100 HOST=%^/soldb*/ , and it isn’t working. ****
