Showing alerts for rules with GROUP tag on the info page

One of the features that I like about Xymon is being able to click on the "info" column for a host to see all the logistics of who gets alerted for which tests.  However, if you've got rules tagged with something like this in analysis.cfg:

          HOST=jdoeserver
               DISK /usr 85 90 GROUP=pagejdoe


and then add an entry to alerts.cfg that looks something like this:

          GROUP=pagejdoe COLOR=red
               MAIL user-4348a9bf9497@xymon.invalid


then the info page doesn't show the alerting that goes to user-4348a9bf9497@xymon.invalid (even though the mail does go out).  So the functionality of GROUP tagging works fine, but the presentation of it on the info page is lacking.  Is there a patch or workaround to achieve what I'm asking for?


Thanks,
Ray

yep, this would be really useful.

right now we have to do the test from cli to find out if my tag is working

(xymon)@xymon-01:~/server$ ./bin/xymoncmd xymond_alert --tests
myclient.example.net ports --group=mygrouptag

would be really nice if the info column shows who is getting alerts
for group tags.
