Hi all:I am trying to write a trigger that will grab the interface name (Gi0/##) only when the 1st number (VLAN) is 28:Trigger-Variables: $VLANinterfacestringTrigger-Template: 28 .* DYNAMIC [[$VLANinterface]]Device output:48 001f.5b33.26b8 DYNAMIC Gi0/4428 000a.5e2d.518b DYNAMIC Gi0/528 000d.602e.e807 DYNAMIC Gi0/660 000d.93ae.ad38 DYNAMIC Gi0/47140 0013.215e.de94 DYNAMIC Gi0/14128 0013.215e.de94 DYNAMIC Gi0/15With that above template it will grab Gi0/5, Gi0/6 and Gi0/15; I really only want Gi0/5 and Gi0/6.I have tried: >> \s28 .* DYNAMIC [[$VLANinterface]]

Re: Trigger issue
With \s, it works correctly for me in a Trigger Test. NetMRI version is 2.4.2.34.

Re: Trigger issue
How did I know that it was going to be fixed in the newest version... I guess it will have to wait until I can upgrade our system.
Thanks.
Re: Trigger issue
Can replace the "\s" with a "\r". A $variable /^28/ should also work.
Re: Trigger issue
We have found that any regular expressions in a trigger must be inside a trigger variable otherwise they are considered normal characters to be matched exactly. Your post has had all line feeds removed so I am not sure of the data we are matching but the following should be close to what you need.
Trigger-Variables:
$MacAddress /[\w.]+/
$VLANinterface string
Trigger-Template:
28 [[$MacAddress]] DYNAMIC [[$VLANinterface]]
Re: Trigger issue
Lets see if this time the 'pasting' will work...
Trigger-Variables: $VLANinterfacestring
Trigger-Template: 28 .* DYNAMIC [[$VLANinterface]]
Device output:
48 001f.5b33.26b8 DYNAMIC Gi0/44
28 000a.5e2d.518b DYNAMIC Gi0/5
28 000d.602e.e807 DYNAMIC Gi0/6
60 000d.93ae.ad38 DYNAMIC Gi0/47
140 0013.215e.de94 DYNAMIC Gi0/14
128 0013.215e.de94 DYNAMIC Gi0/15
In the end all I am trying to get is Gi0/## for any line thatstarts only with 28, not 128, 280,etc... Hopefully the upgrade to 2.4 will fix it.
Re: Trigger issue
Ok this should work on the version you are running. I'll explain $VlanMac
\b says there should be a word boundry ie. no letters or numbers before
\s says it needs to be immediatly followed by a space
[\w.]+ matches the mac address as any number of word chr's or a period.
Trigger-Variables:
$VLANinterface string
$VlanMac /\b28\s[\w.]+/
Trigger-Template:
[[$VlanMac]] DYNAMIC [[$VLANinterface]]
In later versions the VlanMac isn't needed and you can use
Trigger-Template:
\b28 [\w.]+ DYNAMIC [[$VLANinterface]]
Try that first and see if it works on your version.
Hope this helps

Re: Trigger issue
I see what you are doing there, and it makes sense now. Thanks!
