Well, well. If your host names are allowed to include colons, I bet
lots of software gets confused, including DNS!
But you might need to change to the regular expression form of matching
-- stick a % in front and see if that helps. But since colons are not
allowed in DNS names, and they indicate ports, you may be "up the
creek".

I would like to set up a hobbit alert,so I wrote
in the hobbit-alerts.cfg:
HOST=WS004:81
MAIL user-46580519995f@xymon.invalid SERVICE=http
MAIL user-c423191234b5@xymon.invalid SERVICE=http
I know the http is down from that host so i gave
it a shot, i saved and rebooted but it doesn't seem to work.
Any ideas what might be wrong?
Unless the ":81" is part of the actual hostname, it
shouldn't be there, and instead should just be:
HOST=WS004
Be sure the hostname matches the same name you are using
in your bb-hosts file.
