Can I do macro in hobbit-client.cfg like hobbit-alerts.cfg ?

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


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"
