Hi,
I would like to trap message from specified group of servers. All those servers have "IE" characters in their name.

Can wild card be used in the message record -detail in this way:
Domain\Node: *IE*

Pls help.Thanks
 
Sort by date Sort by votes
Beside, is that possible to list few nodes in the domain\node field?
for example the msg record apply to server01, server10, server23.

pls help. thanks

You can use wildcards eg lon-ks-sun*
But you can't list.

Hi JonnoGT,

Thanks for your valuable feedback. Any possible solution to group servers which have no similar name (server name=ABC, DEF etc)?

Beside,What if I have the senario like this:

1.Msg ID A with Domain node =server0*
2.Msg ID A with Domain node = (empty, didn't specific any node).

Is that all servers beside server0* will trigger 2.Msg ?

CA will search for the most specific match - so yes,
A message from server0* would be picked up by MSG ID 1, a message from any other server would be picked up by MSG ID 2.

The only way I can think to do it with a group of servers is to use the TEST message action.
EG: Have a generic msg record.
Do a test as the first action to find out what Node it is:
Action = TEST
Text = ( &NODEID = ABC -o &NODEID = DEF )
(The -o means "or")
If it finds a match it will send a 0 Return Code.

So for the next action do an EXIT with Condition Opcode = NE and return Code = 0.
Hence - if the node is not either ABC or DEF it will exit, if it is it will skip this action and continue to the next.

I'll post an example for you

Sorry it's so long!! Here's one we do that does different escalation depending on which agent has alerted etc. TEST is a really good way of cutting down on the number of MSG records that you have.

Hello

If you enable regular expressions (Message records - Config tab), you can use them also in the Domain\Node field.
For example you can enter:
server10|server2*|server33
'|' means 'or'.

That's good stuff Izeds, I never knew that.
Cheers for the tip
