One way, though not ideal, would be to have hobbit call a script and in the script grep the input received from hobbit to see if the desired port is red and then continue to send the sms if it is or exit if one of the others are down.

Hi,

I'm trying to use the hobbit to send me an sms when ports are flaggin red. However I only want this some some of the ports

of a host and not all. I'm unsure on how to filter that in the hobbit-alerts.cfg settings.

Currently this is how it's set up

HOST=%(host1|host2|host3).* SERVICE=ports COLOR=RED

This is from my hobbit-clients.cfg

HOST=%^(host1).*

    PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]7230)$" STATE=% min=1 max=160 TRACK=eb "TEXT=EB"

    PORT "REMOTE=%([.:]1521)$" STATE=% min=1 max=600 TRACK=oracle "TEXT=Oracle"

    PORT "REMOTE=%([.:]6611)$" STATE=% min=0 max=600 TRACK=rb "TEXT=RB"

Can I define further the service bit to filter out the ports I don't want? I would only like to receive alerts in SMS for the remote ports.
