I have one host with some filesystems that are always 100% full. So I wanted to disable the red alarm by setting the warnlevel and paniclevel in the hobbit-clients.cfg to 101. The filesystems are /tsm/data, /tsm/db1, and /tsm/db2. I tried the following definitions without success:

HOST=glaukos.x.y.z a) DISK /tsm/data 101 101

b) DISK /tsm/* 101 101

c) DISK %/tsm/* 101 101

d) DISK %^/tsm/* 101 101

e) DISK "%^/tsm/*" 101 101

You hit one of the intricacies of regular expressions. "*" means "zero or one of the patterns immediately to the left", so "/*" matches "/", "//", "///" etc.

What you want is DISK %^/tsm/.* 101 101

because ".*" matches any character, zero or more times.
