Thought about this right after hitting send, if you want to do away with the notregexp so you can match on something else in the expression as well it would be more efficient to do
hostname regexp ^[^0-9]
hostname notregexp ^[0-9]

I'm having trouble making a fairly basic regex string match in the alerting system.
I want to not match any devices that have hostnames starting with a digit. Easy, right.
I think my problem is not finding the right bracing to build the syntax within the ui.
Things I have tried that don't seem to work:
hostname notregexp \b\d.*
hostname notregexp /\b\d.*/
hostname notregexp /(\b\d.*)/
hostname notregexp '/\b\d.*/'
hostname notregexp "\b\d.*"
hostname notregexp "/\b\d.*/"
hostname notregexp '\b\d.*'
Has anybody figured out what the secret handshake is?
Michael
