Hi

I have some problems filtering entries from the msg test. I have several hosts, running SuSE which often produce the following messages in /var/log/messages:

Jan 7 08:09:22 s068c320 ntpd[4944]: kernel time sync error 0001

The hosts are named s068c320, s068c321, s068c322, ...

So I made the following entries in the hobbit-clients.cfg on the Hobbitserver, to filter out these messages:

HOST=%s068c32* LOG %.* %(fatal|error) COLOR=red IGNORE=ntpd

Shouldn't this be:

HOST=%s068c32.* LOG %.* %(fatal|error) COLOR=red IGNORE=ntpd

(Note the ., this is a regex, not a glob)
