Anyway I turn it I can never get more hosts to match the same HOST definition even if I have to servers called server1 and server2 I put a HOST=%host*.domain.com but it will not match.
Nope, that one will match "hos.domain.com", "host.domain.com",
"hostt.domain.com", "hosttttttttttttttt.domain.com" etc.

What you're after is HOST=%host.*.domain.com .
Anyway I am configuring a new host with PROC settings but I can never get the web page to display my settings. Should hobbit be restarted completly after changing the hobbit-clients.cfg filer ?
No, the hobbitd_client module will reload the config regularly, every
10 minutes. Or you can do a "kill -HUP <pid of hobbitd_client>" to force the config reload.  After the config has reloaded, the new settings will show up when the client next reports to the server.
how can I test the file settings ?
Try setting them to something that should cause a yellow or red status.
