Using RegEx in Subscription Criteria
Hello
I want to use RegEx expression for filtering in my Subscription criteria, as follows:
Let say all the monitor I created start with same set of characters i.e.
"My Monitor"
Therefore I have several monitors called
My Monitor ABC
My Monitor 123
My Monitor XYZ
Therefore as part of the Subscription Criteria, under "with a specific name" I currently have
My Monitor%
The % meaning any one or more characters. That works find I receive notifications for alerts from all of the monitors with the above names.
Now what I want to do is keep this one subscription criteria but exclude notifications from say My Monitor 123. I still want to receive notifications from the other two monitors, therefore I was thinking this is a case for RegEx
First question is can I use RegEx in the criteria "with a specific name" field? I guess I am already doing the with the % however, I believe that is an SQL expression rather than a true RegEx expression?
The following blog has some detailed information

I am not clear if this would work in my case, for example it states the ^ character is used to denote NOT. Based on this I was thinking about changing the above
My Monitor%
To
My Monitor%[^123]
Will the above work, is it the correct syntax?
Any advise, most welcome
Thanks you all
