NTEVL Probe Regular Expression

[kanandaguberan]

Hi,

 

I am trying to configure monitoring in ntevl probe to for a specific text in the event message. I wanted to make this case insensitive as I am not sure if the text comes in upper case or lower case or a combination of them. I did try this way which I am not sure is working. Can  someone help me here?

 

Regex:*?i(Text_String)*

 

Is this correct? When I tried it in the nas editor it again did not give me the expected results. Any suggestions here please?

please see the below regex KB

below is an example that should work.

/(?i).*Test\sAlarm.*/

Hi Gene,

 

Thanks for the help. And I just wanted to understand if this regex will work on the ntevl probe as well? I am asking this because there were scenarios where a regex worked in nas however not on other probes.

yes ntevl does allow for regular expressions

Hi Gene,

 

I did test this with the regex and it did not give me the result. Also, to verify I created another profile matching the exact case and found that the alert matches for the second one ( the one with the exact case)

You would need to attach your .cfg file with the configuration and then a sample of the message you are trying to use to provide any further feed back.

 

or you can open a support case and they will be glad to help you with this as well
