From what I can tell, defining alerts such as "PAGE=os/aix SERVICE=*" does
not work for alternate pagesets.  Does the "PAGE" keyword in alert rules
only work on pages in the host file and not the alternate pagesets? 
Yes, the PAGE setting in hobbit-alerts.cfg uses the default pagename from
bb-hosts - it doesn't know about the alternate pagesets.
I have set up alternate pagesets for AIX, Linux, and Windows, and it
would be nice to be able to define alerts based on these pages.
So far, the alternate pagesets have been purely a "display" thing -
they only exist in the "mind" of bbgen when creating webpages. The
hobbit daemon doesn't know about them.

So it's not as easy as it seems to implement this. I'll try to come up
with a way of doing it, but it definitely will not be in the upcoming
release.
