[mrtg] Indexmaker regexp matching... Was: RE: Re: Indexmaker... p lease HELP!!!

[James Smith]

According to the source code, it uses the title line, but the behavior I
have observed is it ignores the target definition, and just uses the title
text when looking for a match.

For example, 
Title[1.2.3.4]: Loudenboomer 5000 atc2p3
You will not get a match with "-r 1.2.3.4", but you will get a match 
with "-r 5000". If you want to match on IP address, you must change
"Title[1.2.3.4]: Loudenboomer 5000 atc2p3" to read
"Title[1.2.3.4]: Loudenboomer 5000 atc2p3 1.2.3.4" or some such.

And is the target name for that IP the IP itself, i.e. you are using
Target[154.17.6.1]?  That is the only think indexmaker is looking for.  It
isn't looking at the details, just the target definition.

 It's a little known fact that the Y1K bug caused the Dark Ages.
