Did you look into maybe making a host group out of them?
I forget the hobbit term for them of course, but I know you can do
groups, which is a regex or simple declaration.

Is it possible to nest rules in hobbit-alerts.cfg? For example, can I do
something like this (indenting provided for readability):
PAGE=hostPageA NOTICE RECOVERED
HOST=hostA,hostB,hostC
MAIL user-662c32254ab8@xymon.invalid
HOST=%(hostD[0-9])
MAIL user-2a94730ebdd3@xymon.invalid
Our alerting rules are starting to get kind of complex, and nesting alert
rules as above would make things easier. I know I could do something like:
PAGE=hostPageA NOTICE RECOVERED
MAIL user-662c32254ab8@xymon.invalid HOST=hostA,hostB,hostC
MAIL user-2a94730ebdd3@xymon.invalid HOST=%(hostD[0-9])
But some of the HOST= lists are very long (i.e. wrap across multiple lines),
so the above 2nd example would look a lot uglier than it does in this post
(which was simplified for readability). If nesting rules won't work, I
wonder how much effort would be involved in adding this feature.
