GROUP setting in alerts

hello,
I may not be understanding the GROUP setting correctly.

My hobbit-clients.cfg has this:
HOST=rhlxdev1
        PROC ImageServer yellow
        PROC "ImageServing/jre/bin/java"
        PROC mysql GROUP=security
        PROC sawmill GROUP=security

And my hobbit-alerts.cfg has this:
HOST=rhlxdev1 GROUP=security
        MAIL $efairhurst

Is this the correct way to have the $efairhurst user alerted for only the
"mysql" and "sawmill" procs?  If so, should it show up in the info column
alert rules?

Thanks

Your configuration is correct. The "info" column display has a bug, so 
group-restricted alerts don't show up there.
