Hi Henrik,
you wrote that we can use CLASS=... in hobbit-alerts.cfg (see your attached email).
But what is the right way to use this tag in hobbit-alerts.cfg? I didn't find anything in Hobbit man-pages.
Regards.

Just wanted to ask a quick question (went through the archive, but haven't found an answer for my question):
Is it possible to use host wildcards in clients-local.cfg file ? They do work for me for example in hobbit-clients.cfg but it seems that I can not make it work in clients-local.cfg. In hobbit-clients.cfg I am using for example as follows:
HOST=%www..\.foo\.com
but it doesn't work in clients-local.cfg.
No, you cannot.
The way around this is to use host "classes". The default class for a
host is the name of the operating system - that's why the "[linux]" and "[hpux]" etc. sections work. You can change the class of a host either by configuring it with the CLASS:classname setting in bb-hosts, or by specifying the class on the client when you start the Hobbit client.
It is a bit annoying that you cannot use regexp's in client-local.cfg. Might be something I change.
Thank you Henrik for your reply. Classes did help indeed. Can I use them in other config files like for example in hobbit-clients.cfg ?
Yes, both hobbit-clients.cfg and hobbit-alerts.cfg support a CLASS=... way of selecting hosts.
Regards, Henrik
