Allow wildcards in ignore exceptions

WE have an issue that at the moment we need to ignore certain business exceptions which we need to do in the following way at the moment;

System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[[RWWA.Gateway.Betting.Contracts.DataContract.Fob.FobFault, RWWA.Gateway.Betting.Contracts, Version=55.0.18703.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null]]

System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[[RWWA.Gateway.Betting.Contracts.DataContract.Fob.FobFault, RWWA.Gateway.Betting.Contracts, Version=62.0.37728.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null]]

However, everytime we deploy a new version, the version number is updated, so always throws up a new problem every release.

This is hurting us in our ability to be able to automate releases as this needs to be added as another excpetion, and the overhead of about 50 services changing weekly is getting quite burdensome.

If we were able to specify a wildcard for the version number, this would work perfectly! ie to be able to specify

System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[[RWWA.Gateway.Betting.Contracts.DataContract.Fob.FobFault, RWWA.Gateway.Betting.Contracts, Version=*, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null]]

(by the way we have tested and doesnt currently work)

Regular expressions or wildcard are probably too expensive. The error detection rules do match a substring. You don't have to enter the whole exception message.

In your case, would the match of the message text up to the version fit? e.g.

[[RWWA.Gateway.Betting.Contracts.DataContract.Fob.FobFault, RWWA.Gateway.Betting.Contracts, Version=
