Wildcard not working in service escalations ?

[Mihai Tanasescu]

Hello,


I've just set up a service escalation like this:

define serviceescalation{
        host_name               *
        service_description     Host-UP
        first_notification      3
        last_notification       0
        notification_interval   30
        contact_groups          admins,managers
        }

But when I try to start nagios it says:

Error: Could not find any host matching '*'
Error: Could not expand hostgroups and/or hosts specified in service 
escalation (config file '/usr/local/etc/nagios/escalations.cfg', 
starting on line 2)

If instead of host_name *  I specify a certain host out of the ones I'm 
monitoring, everything works alright.

The nagios I'm running is 2.9.1 and after googling a bit I saw that it 
should support wildcards here.

I have use_regexp_matching=1 enabled in nagios.cfg (and regexps work for 
everything except the escalations).


Any ideas / am I doing something wrong  ?
