Here are a couple of working uses of regexp in client-local.cfg I have in my setup:
[class=%^(oracledb)$]
log:cat /hfc/xymon/client/etc/alert_log_list.txt:10240
ignore (ORA-01013|Warning.*Heavy swapping observed on system in last 5
mins|ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG|Thread.*advanced to log sequence.*LGWR
switch|Archived Log entry.*added for.*|Current log.*seq.*mem.*|swapped
in.*pct of memory swapped out|Private strand flush not complete|Setting

trigger (ORA-|checkpoint not complete|ARC|cannot allocate new log|core

[host=%aix] file:/hfc/tmp log:/var/log/ntp/ntp.log:12345
