For the archives, I figured out that I had opted for regex support in
nagios.cfg, and thus I *had* to use regex. So, a .* works fine.
That said. I wish I could just indicate a default icon for a given
service - is this an option?
Also, can I use macros in the extserviceinfo? like $HOSTADDRESS$ in the
notes_url? this would save a LOT of time
Notably, I'll beexperimenting with this, so I may be replying to myself in a little
while on this subject as well.
