another related feature request. `info' column completely ignores any GROUP associated alert rules. Would be nice if it shows that.

PROC joeproc GROUP=joe

GROUP=joe MAIL joe at example.com ! MAIL wholegroup at example.com

Can I do something like this?

I want to alert joe only about joeproc' . So that part works fine by giving the process a group-id and alert onlyjoe at example.com' only when grouip-id matches.

But, I also want only joe gets alert for those processes. So is there a way I can prevent the whole group to receive alerts related to joeproc ? would be nice if I could have EXPROC or NOT MAIL .. something like that.

So

this can be achieved easily: alert joe at example.com ONLY for process joeproc. don't alert him for any other procs.

this cannot be achieved easily: alert ONLY joe at example.con for process joeproc. don't alert wholegroup at example.com for this process.

I could exservice proc for wholegroup at example.com and then for each group of hosts (PAGE) or each list of hosts (using regex) I need to setup a GROUP for the list of procs that I want the wholegroup to be alerted on. That is lot of work

It would be easy if I rather have some negation rule synatx, like EXPROC or NOT MAIL

any suggestion is welcome.
