[Devmon] Problems getting except to work with if_dsc

[Moermond, T. <tim...@ca...>]

Hi,

 

I am trying to do an exception for if_dsc alerts on a Cisco 3750 Switch in
Xymon, however the except does not seem to be honored. I have successfully
used excepts for if_col, so I am not sure if there is an issue or if I simply
cannot do an except on if_dsc. The line I am using in the Xymon Hosts.cfg
file is as follows.

 

192.168.4.7         ciscobswwan #
DEVMON:except(if_dsc;ifName;na:Gi3/0/12|Gi3/0/13|Gi3/0/14)

 

I have also tried

 

192.168.4.7         ciscobswwan #
DEVMON:except(if_dsc;ifName;na:Gi3/0/[12-14])

 

However that did not seem to work either.

 

My line for if_col which does work looks like the following. (this device is
also a 3750 switch)

 

192.168.4.9         ciscocswwan #
DEVMON:except(if_col;ifName;na:Gi1/0/37|Gi1/0/38)

 

 

Thank you for your assistance,

 

Tim
