Glad to know I am not the only one has this need. I am using following work-around solution(IMHO) for now.

Im doing the same for now,  it just gets ugly when you have 40 servers
you need to define and could use the one rule to do it, and you have
anywhere from 50 to 60 rules like this.  Im trying to consolidate to
make the file a little more manageable for other folks that arent as
savy with this stuff.

HOST=%(a|b).com
    PROC sendmail 1 -1 red
    PROC cron 1 -1 red

HOST=%(b1|b2).com
    PROC syslog 1 -1 red
    PROC cron 1 -1 red

I am looking for following MACRO(R1) syntax to work in hobbit-client.cfg beside hobbit-alerts.cfg

$A=a.com|b.com
PROC sendmail 1 -1 red
$B=b1.com|b2.com
PROC syslog 1 -1 red
$ALL=$A|$B
PROC cron 1 -1 red

So all 4 machines will have cron process monitored beside group A have sendmail and group B have syslog processes monitored.

Is above syntax supported in hobbit-client.cfg ?

I asked this same question awhile back and never received an answer, but
I tries a couple different ways and never could get it to work.

Can the same technique used in the hobbit-alerts.cfg for defining a
group of hosts be used in the hobbit-clients.cfg? Example:

$HG_NOTES=(athena|ids|isis).foo.com

HOST=%$HG_NOTES
PROC notes TRACK=notes "TEXT=Lotus Notes"
