Yes, I always specify host names in analysis.cfg and alerts.cfg with a leading caret and trailing $. It prevents a lot of unintentional matches, since Xymon seems to put .* before and after the names before trying to match them.
Thanks, Larry Barber

Adam is correct. I was not putting much thought into the range, more just that a caret and unescaped leading slash was required for Mike's issue. Also, I would not use .*, based on a practice of only matching what you need, when you know what it is. In this case it was known to be 01->27, and I borked that simple match :)
Besides placing these above the DEFAULT stanaza I see alot of mishaps when using the regex identifier % without the start of the line caret ^.

I don't think that would work, you would need something like: HOST=edmprod DISK %^/(da[0-1][0-9]|da2[0-7]) IGNORE DISK * 95 98
