Control Center Wildcard Rule not working

Troubleshooting


Problem

IBM Sterling Control Center Wildcard Rule not working when configured with multiple servers

Symptom

When a rule is configured with the parameters (Message Id, SLC Name, Server and Server Groups, and Event Type) the rule is not being executed.

Cause

The rule was configured using the logical or operator "|" to specify multiple servers, e.g server2|server2. However Control Center would consider this a single server and not match any servers.

Resolving The Problem

To match any server that matches a criteria use a wildcard expression:

server*

This will match any node that starts with the name "server"

For a more specific search criteria use a Regular Expression statement:

server[12]

This will match for server1 and server2
