This should work: COLOR=red EXSERVICE=%(msgs|^int.*)

Hi Everyone,

I am having an issue where Hobbit will not take multiple alert parameters if one of them is a regular expression. I have my hobbit built with MRTG integration. My example is that I want to have my catch all rule exclude all msgs and interfaces (in the format int01-08, int09-16, ...).

This works: COLOR=red EXSERVICE=%^int.*

This doesn't work: COLOR=red EXSERVICE=msgs,%^int.*

Does anyone have any hints, how to get this working? Maybe even a logical approach to get it working and not necessary a technical approach?

Thanks.
