Zabbix actions "Received value not like" formatting

[mbadmin]

Anyone have some tips here?

I have a bunch of servers, hostnames are somewhat consistent. I want to basically exclude a few types of host by hostname.

For example, i have these 3 servers, and i only want hosts that start with abten to be added to a particular reporting group:
rzslchost1
rzslchost2
brmkehost1
brmkehost2
abtenhost1
abtenhost2
abtenhost3

Then some rules like the below screenshot should work, right? Problem is, I'm still getting a lot of hosts besides the abten* ones added. Not sure why..




Tips? Tricks?

You'd want to use "and" between logical not operators.

Take the following as an example...

if (Var1 not 11) or (Var1 not 12)

The outcome is anything that is not 11 or not 12 but 11 is not 12 and 12 is not 11 so they are both possible.

As opposed to...

if (Var1 not 11) and (Var1 not 12)

This works because 11 is not 11/12 and 12 is not 11/12 so it is anything other then 11 and 12.

Ha, of course it's just something simple like logic. I honestly didn't even notice the logic selector at the top.

Thanks for the help!
