[Observium] Wildcards in hostname device match not working

Hello everyone,

today I noticed that wildcards are not working anymore if I use them for hostnames as I create new alert checker.

the hostnames I try to trigger are commonly looking like this: vh01-name vh02-name ... vh16-name

Simple running numbers counting up and the rest is the same.

I tried the following masks as match: *name* vh* vh*-name

none of the above are working. The current workaround is to write a hostname check for every machine, as I got 16 Device Match entries at the moment. Could this be because of the !=/ne operand I use? Because the logical function I try to accomplish is filtering out specific servers from a alerter, so they will be ignored and not checked.

Can you give an advise?

Thanks and much regards, Sebastian
