It was actually an IGNORE HOST, we used it to turn on and off monitoring of a complete datacenter.

Wow...not knowing anything about your environment, it seems like it would've been easier to do an EXHOST...or HOST=%(atl.*)\.intelliverse\.com

Bill,
I have used this with success.
HOST=%(atlftp|atlldap1|atlldap2|atlldap3|atllog|atlmidware1|atlmidware2| atlnfs1|atlnfs2|atlnfs3|atlsip1|atlsip2|atlsipc1|atlsipnot1|atlsipc2|atl sipnot2|atlsipreg2|atltma1|atltma2|atlvdns1|atlvdns2|atlvmail1|atlvsp2|a tlvsp3|atlsniffer1|atlsniffer2|atlmidware1|atlnfs1|atlsipreg1|atlvweb1|a tlvweb2|atlvweb3|atlmidware1|atlnfs1|atlsipreg1|atlvmailrelay|atlvweb1|a tlvweb2|atlvoipdb0).intelliverse.com

Greetings,
I've been able to do some basic regular expression matching using the examples in hobbit-clients.cfg.
For example, this works fine: HOST=%(server1|server2|server3).domain.com
But this doesn't: HOST=%(server*).domain.com
I'm sure I'm just missing the syntax for wildcard matching?
Also is there a way to define a test for every server except some hosts? I have a lot of tests I would love to put in the DEFAULT section, but I have a couple hosts that the tests would fail for.
I'm wondering if something like this would be possible? HOST=%(!badhost1|badhost2).domain.com
Thanks for the help, BM
