If you are trying to restrict the test to a specific host, why don't you put the PROC command under its own HOST=whatever section?
It takes up one less line in the config file ;-) The main reason is, all the other HOST= tags I've used worked fine, so I don't have to create a separate HOST= section for only one or two tests that are specific to that one host, and I can use the regex HOST= section for all of the machines at once.
I don't think the inclusion of the HOST= tag is the problem anyway. But, if all else fails, I'll try it on its own, just for grins.

I don't use HOST= in my working PORT tracking. I agree with Greg on doing it via the RegExp itself.
The problem with that is, it will perform the PORT test on all of the machines under the HOST= section the test is under. I don't want this, as only one of the machines actually has the ports running. I haven't had a problem using HOST= in this manner before, and it's described in the "rules to select hosts" section in the manpage for hobbit-clients.cfg
minor thing: not so sure TRACK= can take all numeric or not. I believe your RegExp needs (). Mine goes like below. I have PORT column show and alerts generated, plus RRD graph for counting of TIME_WAIT connections to PORT LOCAL=%([.:]3306)$ STATE=TIME_WAIT MIN=0 MAX=10000 COL=yellow TRACK=db_TimeWait TEXT=db_TimeWait
I was wondering that myself. I'll try changing to TRACK= to be character-based and see if that helps.
