Having some trouble with Regex in Zabbix

Hi!

I'm using Zabbix for a while now and I'm almost ashamed of the issue that I seem to be having. Still having this fixed is better than the alternative. I have an SNMP trap which send the following data on a periodic schedule.

05:29:32 2025/03/22 VARBINDS:
  DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance type=67 value=Timeticks: (20287194) 2 days, 8:21:11.94
  SNMPv2-MIB::snmpTrapOID.0      type=6  value=OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.231.2.49.2.0.10073
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.231.2.49.2.1.1 type=4  value=STRING: "iRMC569B16"
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.231.2.49.2.1.2 type=2  value=INTEGER: 1742617771
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.231.2.49.2.1.3 type=4  value=STRING: "PRAID EP420i (0)"
  SNMPv2-MIB::snmpTrapEnterprise.0 type=6  value=OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.231.2.49.2

I cleared it with the vendor, this is a non-issue and is just telling me some maintenance action was activated. I cannot disable this notification and so I must look to Zabbix to correctly handle this SNMP trap. Now to make sure that the failover SNMP trap item doesn't fire when I receive this trap, I've created an item. This item is however not working so my guess is, something is wrong with my regex. I tried reworking this a few times but this is were I'm at right now:

snmp.trap[.*PRAID EP420i.*]

.

Hopefully someone has had better experiences with filtering SNMP traps. Let me know if you'd need some additional information.

So it was hard troubleshooting because the trap didn't occur much. The solution was in the details: snmptrap[PRAID EP420i] did the trick. So being carefull with the item key and it should work.
