I am trying to simplify my admin work for a large deployment we are doing right
now of Nagios 3.2 Core in a SuSE Linux environment
I have multiple hostgroups set up and wanted to use a wildcard in the member
name since all of the devices that will be in a hostgroup are named the same
except for the actual location part of the name.
If I have each remote server listed explicitly ion the hostgroup file uder
members, everything is fine.
I turned on use_true_regexp_matching and use_regexp_matching and added this to
my hostgroup.cfg file:
define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name Remote_servers
alias Remote Servers
members *sa
}
I then did a verify of the nagios config & it replied with this:
Error: Could not find any host matching '*sa' (config file
'/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/hostgroups.cfg', starting on line 47)
Error: Could not expand members specified in hostgroup (config file
'/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/hostgroups.cfg', starting on line 47)
I tried multiple variations with wildcards both "?" and "*" to no avail.
If I STARTED the members list with the 1st couple of letters of the name of the
hosts or just put only a " * " there, it works.
Can anyone explain why I cant do this
str*sa or str????sa or *sa but I can do str* or " * "
All of the hosts are named as such :
strXXXXsa - were XXXX is a 4 digit number for the server location
Thanks,
Steve
