I hate the Windows event log! Is ther a way to centralize the "ignore message" function in Hobbit? We get hammered with event log messages about every little thing that happens and most are just nonsense noise and trying to go and update 400+ windows servers about what to ignore every time a new event pops up is simply not practical. In addition, it seems the the Win client simply ignores some strings that you enter in the "ignore" field. I already thought of sending all the "msgs" notifications to a separate mailbox but trying to sort through 30000 messages each week is the definition of ridiculous. Any ideas welcome.
Thanks
Kevin
P.S. The idea of deleting Windows has already occurred to me but I think the management might frown on that ;-)

I am not sure if I understood your email but how about something like this
cat script.sh
#!/bin/sh
PATTERN_FILE=${BBSERVERROOT}/server/etc/patterns
echo "${BBALPHAMSG}" | $EGREP -f $PATTERN_FILE > /dev/null 2>&1
[ "$?" -ne 0 ] && { echo "${BBALPHAMSG}" | /bin/mailx -s "BB [$ACKCODE] $BBHOSTSVC is RED" $RCPT }
exit 0
PATTERN file could be list of patterns--that can be put each on a separate line--that you don't want to be paged for.
Then SCRIPT /path/to/script.sh user at here.com FORMAT=TEXT COLOR=red on your hobbit-alerts.cfg should may work.
Again, I am answering based on what I assume you like to do. I might be totally wrong about your intension
Thanks
