Yes.  See the CLASS option in the bb-hosts man page.  Basically you can define a CLASS (group) of hosts, and then in client-local.cfg you can do:

[classname]
log:`find /var/log/httpd -type f -maxdepth 1` size<10000000

Subject: [hobbit] client-local.cfg question

Is there a way in client-local.cfg to group hosts by "like" hostnames?  For example, if I have:

web01
web02
web03
web04
web05

And I want to setup file monitoring in /var/log/httpd, is there some way to group them so that I don't have to define each one?  I'd like to do something like:

[web*]
log:`find /var/log/httpd -type f -maxdepth 1` size<10000000

instead of having to do:

[web01]
...
[web02]
...
[web03]
...

Thanks-
Jay
