Ah cheers, I looked under "Configuring Alerts" and didn't see anything about it there, only seemed to apply to hosts. Ill have a play with my regular expressions.

Subject: Re: [hobbit] Alerts for page including subpages
Whilding, Craig a écrit :
Is it possible to do a one line alert rule that alerts on red's on a page and its subpages. Our main page shows all the sites and every site is split into the same subsections. For some they are quite small but with quite a few subpages so I just want one alert for everything on a site. Is that possible without listing all subpages?
Hi
take a look at the hobbit-alerts.cfg(5) manpage :
*PAGE=targetstring* Rule matching an alert by the name of the page in BB. This is the path of the page as defined in the bb-hosts file. E.g. if you have this setup:
page servers All Servers
subpage web Webservers
10.0.0.1 www1.foo.com
subpage db Database servers
10.0.0.2 db1.foo.com
Then the "All servers" page is found with *PAGE=servers*, the "Webservers" page is *PAGE=servers/web* and the "Database servers" page is *PAGE=servers/db*. Note that you can also use regular expressions to specify the page name, e.g. *PAGE=%.*/db* would find the "Database servers" page regardless of where this page was placed in the hierarchy.
The top-level page has a the fixed name */*, e.g. *PAGE=/* would match all hosts on the Hobbit frontpage. If you need it in a regular expression, use *PAGE=%^/* to avoid matching the forward-slash present in subpage-names.
