I'm using hobbit for monitoring a compute cluster of nearly 1000 identical hosts. I'm using includes in my bb-hosts to keep the file length down, but my included files are comprised of hundreds of hosts all identical except for the ipaddresses and hostnames.
Surely there must be a way to template this, I just can't find it in the bb-hosts manpage...
<< bb-hosts >>

and so on in mind-numbing repetition...
I'd like to be able to define the tags in a template, and simply use that template. Does this mechanism exist in bb-host? That way if/when I need to change the tags for all my hosts, I only need to do it in one place, and not on every line in 3 different files.
