Host Groups in hobbit-alerts.cfg as per BB?

Is it also possible to have page groups setup the same way?

as in:

HOST=* SERVICE=conn REPEAT=10 RECOVERED
MAIL=
"user-bb555dc64cde@xymon.invalid,user-f5cd6d1f5b53@xymon.invalid,user-53ac79997b90@xymon.invalid" DURATION>30 COLOR=red

Yes. There are actually two way you can do that - the documented
one, and the simple one :-)

The hobbit-alerts.cfg file mentions I can use regular expression type
wildcards, but some servers for which I want the same alerting do not
follow any such pattern.  Does using "%hostA1|hostA2|hostB3|otherhost" fake
the grouping?

That's the documented way of doing it, yes. Although your example is
not quite correct - it should be "%(hostA1|hostA2|hostB3|otherhost)".

The simple way is this: "hostA1,hostA2,hostB3,otherhost"

Note: You cannot mix the two - it's either a regular expression,
or a simple list.
