Just a thought here…but the [a-z] will only match against lowercase characters.  Is that the behaviour you wanted?

Seems as if it is not clear, which flavor of Regex is suported in Nagios, I had a similar problem, and could not find a clear documentation about the regex-suport in Nagios yet.


F.e.
[sw][0-9]{3}[a-z]{2,124}\.company\.net
This should match any string starting with either s or w, followed by exactly 3 digits and a resonable number of characters plus the domain suffix.

But it did not work. May be I am missing some backslashes?

Please, can anyone point us to the right place?

TIA, Ingo.
