Hello, can you helm me with this macros, i wanna define few services what i want to monitor with this template, i try to use this macros, but can define only one service, is it posible to define 2-3 services in this filed ? I tried use arrays, OR, AND operators in it, but its not worked (.

got answer by maself: to filter service you need, use this:

macro                                               value
{$SYSTEMD.NAME.SERVICE.MATCHES}        (^rsyslog.service$|^firewalld.service$)

Hi Joe,

For templates, they usually have some MACROS you can set. For that template, and as per doc, the macro name for that is

{$SYSTEMD.NAME.SERVICE.MATCHES}

. It is a regular expression of the service you want to monitor. If it is easier, you can also use the exclude MACROS (service you don't want to monitor)

{$SYSTEMD.NAME.SERVICE.NOT_MATCHES}

. That's up to you.

Hi BigSmooth and thanks for the reply. I am looking at the template now. Would I just change the Value field to what I am wanting to monitor?

Ok so the answer to that is yes.

Next question, how does that variable work? Can I just put in something like f* and it will only grab stuff that starts with f? I ask because if I do it this way I am creating about a dozen templates for the services I actually care about.

yes.. that is treated as regex. If you look into filters part of discovery, then you will find those macros being used there.

So The first attachment is how I am identifying the service. The second one where is what you are talking about.
