[osiris-devel] monitoring host state

[Alexei_Roudnev]

I am afraid of treating everything as a regexp. Remember that, no matter
which regexp are you using, '.' and '*' can be in the match and in the file
name.

I prefer to have a simple rule, like my prev. example, by default, and
specify 'regexp' expression explicitly (such as /xx/, for example).

Else, it can cause a lot of consusions.
