I am trying to setup an api request that will put groups of machines into downtime and the documentation seems to say that this can be done with regex but I have not been able to get it to work.
curl -g -u "user:secret" -X 'POST' 'host/site/check_mk/api/1.0/domain-types/downtime/collections/host'
-H 'accept: */*'
-H 'Content-Type: application/json'

The downtime section of this says “These endpoints support all [Livestatus filter operators]”
and the filter operators seem to say that you can use Regex if you start with a “~” but if I put any special characters into the host_name filed I get this error.
