Phil,
You need to put "" around entire IGNORE item - e.g.:
... "IGNORE=%Client \([0-9]7"
This applies for any use of regex in analysis.cfg which uses spaces.

I'm having a problem with spaces in regular expressions when trying to IGNORE log entries. So for the line:
warning - 2013/03/04 12:52:21 - BigBrotherXymonClient (17) - The agent externals generated this event message : No externals have been specified works: LOG eventlog_application %^warning COLOR=red IGNORE=%Client.*17 works: LOG eventlog_application %^warning COLOR=red IGNORE=%Client.*[0-9]7 works: LOG eventlog_application %^warning COLOR=red IGNORE=Client\ \(17 works: LOG eventlog_application %^warning COLOR=red IGNORE=No\ externals\ have\ been\ specified
doesn't work: LOG eventlog_application %^warning COLOR=red IGNORE=%"Client \([0-9]7" doesn't work: LOG eventlog_application %^warning COLOR=red IGNORE="Client \(17" doesn't work: LOG eventlog_application %^warning COLOR=red IGNORE="Client (17" doesn't work: LOG eventlog_application %^warning COLOR=red IGNORE="No externals have been specified"
Is this correct? If so, why no spaces??? It is very confusing as spaces are used elsewhere, eg I can have spaces in a DISK name in analysis.cfg: DISK "/yada yada" 90 95, and spaces can be used in various places in hosts.cfg.
thanks, Phil
