You can yank out the () and the someotherpattern. It was a lazy cut-n-edit post from a working config. Also, like Ryan already said - customizations always preceed the DEFAULT stanza in the config.
Good Luck.

Hmm...I can definitely give that a try.

I have a host for which I’d like to ignore 27 filesystems…they’re all at 97-100% full, and we expect them to be at that level…as such, there’s no reason for Xymon to be alarming on them.
Reading the analysis man page, I’ve tried a number of options to try to get this set of filesystems ignored, to no avail.
The hostname of the system is “edmprod” and the filesystems are /da01 thru /da27.
The stanza I’ve tried to use is:
HOST=%edmprod.* DISK %^\/da* IGNORE
I’ve also tried:
HOST=edmprod DISK %^\/da* IGNORE
And
HOST=edmprod DISK /da01 IGNORE DISK /da02 IGNORE DISK /da03 IGNORE DISK /da04 IGNORE DISK /da05 IGNORE DISK /da06 IGNORE DISK /da07 IGNORE DISK /da08 IGNORE DISK /da09 IGNORE DISK /da10 IGNORE DISK /da11 IGNORE DISK /da12 IGNORE DISK /da13 IGNORE DISK /da14 IGNORE DISK /da15 IGNORE DISK /da16 IGNORE DISK /da17 IGNORE DISK /da18 IGNORE DISK /da19 IGNORE DISK /da20 IGNORE DISK /da21 IGNORE DISK /da22 IGNORE DISK /da23 IGNORE DISK /da24 IGNORE DISK /da25 IGNORE DISK /da26 IGNORE DISK /da27 IGNORE
I’d love to know what I’m doing wrong, here, if anyone is so inclined to assist me.
