Hello,

Andrew, I wanted to thank you for your reply, and mention that yes this does work as I wanted.

I am curious what setting use_regexp_matching to 1, but use_true_regexp_matching to 0 would bring to the table (given that the docs apparently mis-state these options).


Thanks - Ivan.

There is a documentation error. You have to use real regex. A naked * by
itself is not a valid regex.

Try .*

Subject: [Nagios-users] Difficulty with wildcards in serviceescalation

Hello,


    I'm having difficulties with wildcards in a
serviceescalation, running nagios 2.0-stable.  It seems like
the documentation discusses doing exactly this, so perhaps my
trying to get this to work last minute is causing me to
overlook something...  Any ideas?


# Limit notifications to a max of 5, the last one notifying everyone.
define serviceescalation{
host_name       *
service_description *
first_notification 5
last_notification 0
notification_interval 0
contact_groups everyone
}



    When verifying the config I get:

"Reading configuration data...

Error: Could not find any host matching '*'
Error: Could not expand hostgroups and/or hosts specified in
service escalation (config file
'/usr/local/nagios/etc/du/services.cfg', starting on line 154)"



    I have this set in /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg:
use_regexp_matching=1
use_true_regexp_matching=0
# ... at the end of the file ...
cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/du
# (which is where the services.cfg is read, which is where the
#    serviceescalation is defined)



Thanks,

Ivan Fetch.
