advice/Best Practices for hobbit-clients.cfg
Hi all: I guess that many of us have mixed environment with*nix,windows,linux boxes. On my env I have CMT (cool thread) and monothread sparcs and x86 older and newer ones.
So I'm trying to make my hobbit-clients.cfg easy-use/config/modify... So I use CLASS to group HW-like tests and HOST to specialize other ones. But I'm dealing with a strange behavior with this setup... When procs test runs; appears in red because both Windows and unix processes are seek on the host. So clearly I have a trouble here, since I don't like the EXHOST option to deal with exceptions to the DEFAULT entry ( I'm dealing with nearly 80 monitored hosts, between bare metals and Solaris Zones + VMware Machines and Virtual box) to put that on one line it's scary.
I adding some parts of the file and If anybody want can put the entire one.

We monitor several hundred Linux/Windows hosts roughly 50/50 split.
We use regular expressions with the PAGE=, and this works because we organize our pages by location, then by windows or linux servers, or other categories such as power, storage, network, etc
For example: PAGE=%.*-Win.* EXHOST=hosta,hostb,etc PAGE=%.*-Lin.* EXHOST=host123,host234,etc
Works for PROC, LOG, LOAD, etc, and you can make the stuff inside the regex more or less restrictive/specific as needed. Our entire config file is about 50 or 60 lines, including the default section.
