So I was curious about the whole macro thing and decided to test it out. It has only been a few minutes but the following seems to work fine. I hope this helps in some way.
bb-hosts:
$foo="dns" ipaddress servername # $foo

As mentioned, perhaps someone with knowledge on the topic can answer.
To extend the question further, since macros (variables) are able to be used within the hobbit-alerts.cfg file I wonder if variables can be assigned in bb-hosts and hobbit-clients.cfg? At one point I thought of trying to keep all of our host/client/alerts data within mysql, but it was only a thought.

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... ... 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.
