Hi everyone,  
In alarm journal configuration it's possible define filter with regex? In particular, I would store all alarm except some path that contain specific word.

Thanks

No, the only special characters are `?`, `*` and `%`. `?` acts as a single character wildcard, the other two are indefinite length.
