  • 1.  How can I exclude agents that don't match a pattern?

    Posted Mar 10, 2017 09:24 AM

    Let's say I only want to allow agents on servers that start with "one" or "two".  My loadbalancing.xml looks like this:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
    <loadbalancing xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="loadbalancing0.1.xsd">

    <!-- Block **** -->
        <agent-collector name="Block ****">
            <agent-specifier>^(?!(one|two))\|.*\|.*</agent-specifier>
            <include>
            </include>
        </agent-collector>
    </loadbalancing>

    and yet I still get agents on servers with hostnames like "04599598ae29" connecting.

     

    Does the regex engine in use not support zero width assertions or something, or is there something else I'm missing?

    OK, spot the deliberate error!

     

    (I'll give you a clue, it's everything!)

     

    Just testing without the stupid mistake, if it works I'll revoke this question...

    Yeah, it was the missing .* in the host part of the regex.  Oops.

    If anyone happens across this question because they don't know how to do it, the correct answer is:

     

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
    <loadbalancing xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="loadbalancing0.1.xsd">

    <!-- Block **** -->
        <agent-collector name="Block ****">
            <agent-specifier>^(?!(one|two)).*\|.*\|.*</agent-specifier>
            <include>
            </include>
        </agent-collector>
    </loadbalancing>
