[hobbit] Regular Expression problem

I think the problem is that the file list produced by the ls in the back ticks is showing up as a list all on one line rather than a list of files one per line. Not absolutely sure about that, but if you do an echo ls -1d ./someregexp it produces one line of output. It might work to actually write a script to make sure the output has newlines between the file names and then run that in the hobbit config instead of the ls. Beyond that I have no idea.

        I tried the following in local-clients.cfg: file:`ls -1d

/usr/sap/PRD/D01/work/core` and it worked. It just doesn't like the D0* expression.

        Here is the cut and paste for each



        local-clients.cfg: file:`ls -1d /usr/sap/PRD/D01/work/core`

        hobbit-clients.cfg: FILE "%/usr/sap/PRD/D0.*/work/core"

NOEXIST yellow

Robert,

Do the files show up in the client data listing on the server?

You might need to put the match string in the FILE statement in hobbit-clients.cfg in double quotes.

        I have the following scenario. I want to monitor the creation

of core files in the following directories /usr/sap/PRD/D01/work, /usr/sap/PRD/D02/work, usr/sap/PRD/D03/work, /usr/sap/PRD/D04/work, /usr/sap/PRD/D05/work, and /usr/sap/PRD/D06/work.

        I have the following:

1.   In client-local.cfg: [server1]
   
                                File:`ls -1d

   /usr/sap/PRD/D0*/work/core`

2.   In hobbit-clients.cfg: FILE %/usr/sap/PRD/D0.*/work/core NOEXIST

   yellow

3.   And in hobbit-alerts.cfg: MAIL Me at domain.com COLOR=yellow

   RECOVERED

        This is not working. When click on the files for this server I

   do not see these files being selected.

        Any help would be appreciated.
