How to use CLASS in alerts.cfg

Hello, Xymon f(r)iends! It?s been too long.

I'm trying to configure a new setup of xymon server 4.3.30, and I planned to use "CLASS" to group alerts. So I have stuff like this in hosts.cfg (notice I'm using both CLASS and NAME) (IP addresses and host names changed to protect the guilty):

1.2.3.4 server1.domain.com # noconn NAME:USAEA1PWBUAS036 CLASS:apache ssh http://1.2.3.4/healthcheck.txt

1.2.3.5 server2.domain.com # noconn NAME:USAEA1PAPUAS035 CLASS:resin ssh http://1.2.3.5:8888

The class shows up correctly on the info page (at the bottom, under "Other tags"). It also works correctly for filtering in the "enable/disable" (enadis) page. But I haven't figured out how to use it in alerts.cfg.

I tried:


CLASS=apache
    MAIL yadayada

HOST=%.*  CLASS=apache
    MAIL yadayada

HOST=%.*
    MAIL yadayada  CLASS=apache


Nothing seems to work. Is there something I need to do to enable class in alerts?
Or am I getting the syntax wrong?
Is this a bug?

When I say it doesn't seem to work, I mean that I don't see the alert in the "info" page for that host if I try to select by class.

Another detail: I am using include files in hosts.cfg. For example:

group Apache
include /opt/xymon/server/etc/hosts.d/apache.cfg

Any ideas are welcome.

Thanks,
