Is it possible to create "host groups" for alerting as per the bbwarnsetup.cfg and bbwarnrules.cfg files in Big Brother?
The hobbit-alerts.cfg file mentions I can use regular expression type wildcards, but some servers for which I want the same alerting do not follow any such pattern. Does using "%hostA1|hostA2|hostB3|otherhost" fake the grouping?
TIA, Andy.

Yes. There are actually two way you can do that - the documented one, and the simple one :-)

That's the documented way of doing it, yes. Although your example is not quite correct - it should be "%(hostA1|hostA2|hostB3|otherhost)".
The simple way is this: "hostA1,hostA2,hostB3,otherhost"
Note: You cannot mix the two - it's either a regular expression, or a simple list.

Is it also possible to have page groups setup the same way?
as in:
HOST=* SERVICE=conn REPEAT=10 RECOVERED MAIL= "1235556666 at cellcarrier.net,1235557777 at cellcarrier.net,1235558888 at cellcarrier.net" DURATION>30 COLOR=red

Yes. The parameter after the MAIL keyword is passed directly to the "mail" command, so assuming your "mail" utility supports it, then a comma-separated list of recipients should work. I think all Unix "mail" implementations allow that.
