[Nagios-devel] Time-Saving Tricks For Object Definitions (and
Posted: Tue Jan 13, 2009 2:31 am
Hi all,
After 2h of "fun", I'm writing to suggestion a modification to the
documentation.
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ ... ricks.html
The documentation does not tell explicitly that you HAVE to disable
"use_regexp_matching" to use those "tricks".
In fact, if it is not disabled, "real" regexp is used and expected in
all object definitions and those tricks no longer work.
My suggestion would be to modify the first sentence to:
"The examples I give below use "standard" matching of object names
and *require* use_regexp_matching to be *disabled*."
The documentation is currently misleading and causing confusion for some
users and myself:

Thanks.
