analysis.cfg failed alerting
In client-local.cfg
file:ls -1 /opt/powermonitor-notices/*
On the files column I see
green /opt/powermonitor-notices/noticeofpowerfailure.192.168.97.10
Now in the hobbit-clients.cfg (AKA analysis.cfg now) configuration neither of these work
FILE/opt/powermonitor-notices/noticeofpowerfailure.192.168.97.10 red noexist FILE noticeofpowerfailure.192.168.97.10 red noexist FILE %noticeofpowerfailure* red noexist
Ideally I would like the last one there to work so I don't need to specify the IP and can simply use a regular expression and cover all of them.

You're not using the asterisk (*) correctly for a regular expression. It matches zero or more of the previous character, in this case, "e". Instead try this:
FILE %noticeofpowerfailure.* red noexist
The dot matches anything, and is not a literal dot in regular expressions.
You haven't said what you're trying to do. The "noexist" check will generate an alert if the file exists, which might be counter-intuitive depending on your frame of mind. Is that what you want?

I changed it to %noticeofpowerfailure.* red noexist and will wait to see what happens. Thanks for the clarification.
The check is right. I tested that earlier with a less complex method. If there is any file that comes up with ls noticeofpowerfailure* then I want to know. If the file exists, that means there is a site without power.
