Hi Sebastian,
You failed to actually include the lines you tried. But your last sentence seems to indicate you are using 'ne' which is 'not equals'.
A hostname of 'banana' is indeed 'not equal to' a hostname of '*ana*'.
Wildcard matching can be done with match/notmatch.
Hope this helps!

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
