Once you’ve evaluated it and found a yet better example, please share a patch
on GitHub :)

Re: [icinga-users] confusing documentation for 'assign/ignore where' expressions
Thanks for the information. I will evaluate it.
Despite that it should be IMHO more descriptive in the documentation.

Several assigns are combined with ||
Several ignores are combined with ||
That doesn't mean that an assign and an ignore are combined with ||

Suppose you have a machine whose service.notes include "has gold support 24x7"
and belongs to "customer-xy", but the hostname ends in "internal".
Then the "assign where" will match, but the ignore will match as well, and my
understanding is that the ignore will take priority, so there will be no
notifications for internal machines.
