[Xymon] Ignore pattern help

Paul,

I've just been picking up a few of these I had wrong too. I really should set up a syntax checker on my config files to alert me to these ...

I have this line in the analsys.cfg file:

    LOG /opt/netcool/omnibus/log/MNS_NFMS_GW.log Error: COLOR=red

IGNORE="%Writer|Reader|SQL"

The correct form for IGNORE with quotes (or anything else - EXHOST, etc) is around the whole option - so:

"IGNORE=%Writer|Reader|SQL"

If you don't have any spaces you can dispense with the double quotes as someone suggested, but you're likely going to want to handle them some time...

David.

And when this line shows up:

12/11/12 06:37:07: Error: E-NGOBJSE-102-140: [ngobjserv]: ObjectServerA: No results have been returned in response to the cache details select SQL command. (0:No error)

We get paged.

I’ve changed the ignore pattern to “%Writer|%Reader|%SQL”. This is a new error, that isn’t an error for us.

Will that change work, or does anyone have a better pattern?

Thanks,

Paul.
