Hi Stuart,
Yes that is one way you can do it.
Just got to work and looked up the man page for Xymon 4.3.5 and you can also alert on DISPLAYGROUP
## Extract
DISPLAYGROUP=groupstring Rule matching an alert by the text of the display-group (text following the group, group-only, group-except heading) in the hosts.cfg file. "groupstring" is the text for the group, stripped of any HTML tags. E.g. if you have this setup:
group Web
10.0.0.1 www1.foo.com
10.0.0.2 www2.foo.com
group Production databases
10.0.1.1 db1.foo.com
Then the hosts in the Web-group can be matched with DISPLAYGROUP=Web, and the database servers can be matched with DISPLAYGROUP="Production databases". Note that you can also use regular expressions, e.g. DISPLAYGROUP=%database. If there is no group-setting for the host, use "DISPLAYGROUP=NONE".

Subject: RE: [Xymon] Can Alerts Be Configured Based on Page-->Group?
Thank-you for the suggestion. So then you are thinking about multiple
rules for each PAGE with specific IGNOREs for each group?
PAGE Groups
IGNORE HOST="%(regex excluding servers in groups B & C)
MAIL $GROUPATEAM
PAGE Groups
IGNORE HOST="%(regex excluding servers in groups A & C)
MAIL $GROUPBTEAM
PAGE Groups
IGNORE HOST="%(regex excluding servers in groups A & B)
MAIL $GROUPCTEAM
A messy way is to IGNORE the hosts you don't want. If possible use the
% and wild cards.

Is there a way to configure alerts based on membership in a group on a
