Nagios Support Forum

I am taking over management of a very old Nagios instance and trying to figure out someone else's config files.

We have set in the nagios.cfg

and in one of the hostgroups we have members defined as:

That host group is properly picking up these hosts:

a-power-1
a-power-2
a-cyc-1

However it's also picking up the following hosts and I cannot figure out why.

art-pool-1
art-pool-2
art-pool-3

Any help would be appreciated.

You might try ^(a-).* instead.

Thank you, that worked like a charm. Now for me to do some digging to understand why

Thanks @mcapra for helping out

We'll go ahead and mark this as resolved, but feel free to open another post if you have any new questions.

Thank you for using the Nagios Community Forum.
