I'm trying to get alerts working for a group of servers that have *soldb* in the server name but I can't seem to figure out the right syntax. Can anyone give me a hand with a *whatever* syntax? What I have at the moment is LOAD 70 100 HOST=%^/soldb*/ , and it isn't working.

There are slashes in your server names? Steve

In future, you can test your regular expressions using xymon's "xymondboard" message type. Just set host to whatever follows the "%" and it will give you what matches. So to test "%soldb" you do this (from the Xymon server):
$ xymoncmd xymon localhost 'xymondboard host=soldb'

I'm trying to get alerts working for a group of servers that have *soldb* in the server name but I can't seem to figure out the right syntax. Can anyone give me a hand with a *whatever* syntax? What I have at the moment is LOAD 70 100 HOST=%^/soldb*/ , and it isn't working.
Hello, Elizabeth.
If "soldb" is not at the beginning of the hostname, then:
%.*soldb.* may work for you.
Another option might be to set up a page with all of those servers contained in it, and then alert on the page, instead.
