I written down as "ra.*.mywork.com" in hobbit-alerts.cfg file. but turns out it also catch "sdultra72.mywork.com" type of hostname.

currently the pattern is changed to "^ra.*.mywork.com" so "sdultr72.mywork.com" won't be matched.

Question is do I have change my other hostname pattern to start with ^
(1st character started with ) symbol ? , Just to be on safe side ?

If You expect the patterns should match from the beginning of the hostname, then adding the anchor is the safest way to achieve that.
