# You can also associate a GROUP id with a rule. The group-id is passed to# the alert module, which can then use it to control who gets an alert when# a failure occurs. E.g. the following associates the "httpd" process check# with the "web" group, and the "sshd" check with the "admins" group:#    PROC httpd 5 GROUP=web#    PROC sshd 1 GROUP=admins# In the hobbit-alerts.cfg file, you could then have rules like#    GROUP=web#       MAIL user-b7c20e0da76a@xymon.invalid#    GROUP=admins#       MAIL user-04caac0eb454@xymon.invalid
 
The above notes in hobbit-clients.cfg explain for httpd process less than 5,
send alert to web(user-401205b5bf4b@xymon.invalid).
 
But I don't know what is the correct syntax to specify more than one recepients ?
 
is it "GROUP=web,web2,web3"
or 
 
"GROUP=web web2 web3"
 
or else ?
 
Thanks for your pointerT.J. Yang

In the hobbit-alerts.cfg file, you could then have rules like
GROUP=web
   MAIL user-b7c20e0da76a@xymon.invalid
GROUP=admins
   MAIL user-04caac0eb454@xymon.invalid

GROUP is a criterium, i.e. a way to select which alerts apply
to this rule.

MAIL is an action - what happens when the criterium is matched.

So "GROUP=web,web2" would match any definition in
hobbit-clients.cfg which had a "GROUP=web" or "GROUP=web2"
tag assosiated.

If what you want is to send the alerts to several people, then
you put those on the MAIL line. Like

   GROUP=web
        MAIL user-d083d77d33f5@xymon.invalid,user-dd634354da20@xymon.invalid

  GROUP=web
       MAIL user-d083d77d33f5@xymon.invalid,user-dd634354da20@xymon.invalid
in my case I have

GROUP=data-team-email
                user-9f0ca6536afa@xymon.invalid
GROUP=data-team-page
                user-9744b1596e56@xymon.invalid

so for some data partitions
I need them to be alerted by both email and pager.
So I should configure my hobbit-client.cfg
as
HOST=dataserver.work.com
        /export 95 99 GROUP=data-team-email,data-team-page

Thanks for the clarification,
