Systemd - Select units by regex/wildcard

[pnomolos]

We utilize https://github.com/ddollar/foreman to deploy, but this results in unit names such as service_name@5700.service, service_name@5701.service, service_name@5702.service - and these port numbers are dynamic based on how many background workers we're deploying, etc. It would be very handy if we could filter either on a regex/wildcard, or just the ability to set something like unit_name_prefix: "service_name".

Thanks!

Hi

Thanks @hkrutzer, as you mentioned the support of regex patterns for selecting units in the systemd check is supported since #36469 was merged. This was released in Agent version 7.66.0

For your deployments with dynamic port numbers like service_name@5700.service, service_name@5701.service, you can use:

  unit_regexes:
    - ^service_name@\d+\.service$
