Thanks, it does work on ignore statements with regular expressions but not with simple strings:
LOG eventlog_application %^warning COLOR=yellow "IGNORE=No externals have been specified" LOG eventlog_application %^warning COLOR=yellow IGNORE="No externals have been specified"
I would have thought both of these would work. Might be a bug.
If I escape the spaces or if I add the %, it works.
Well that's something.
But still, this is not logical - quotes are normally after the equal sign
Well, no. This is not illogical, just not familiar to you, that's all. We're not dealing with a shell script, but a highly-specific configuration file. The quoting is consistent across Xymon configuration files.
But the fact that the quoted string with spaces doesn't match is probably a bug.
and of course it shouldn't be necessary to make this into a regex when it
isn't.
That's true.
