LLD filters for not something

[ahowell]

Hi,

I've got a network interface discovery rule that I'd like to filter out lo0 from (solaris agent doesn't seem to support byte and error counts for lo0)

Can anyone give me some help with a regexp that excludes lo0.

I've tried the following which don't work

^(?:[^l]+|l(?!o0))*$
^(?:(?!lo0).)*$
^((?!lo0).)*$
^((?!lo0).*)$

I haven't found a way to do this either. Zabbix server uses the POSIX regcomp and regexec, which don't support lookarounds. :(

zabbix server supports extended posix, so pcre style regexps won't work. you could do something as ugly as [^l][^o][^0] ...

I'd already voted for both of them :)
