Can I do macro in hobbit-client.cfg like hobbit-alerts.cfg ?
I am looking for following MACRO(R1) syntax to work in hobbit-client.cfg beside hobbit-alerts.cfg
$A=a.com|b.com PROC sendmail 1 -1 red $B=b1.com|b2.com PROC syslog 1 -1 red $ALL=$A|$B PROC cron 1 -1 red
So all 4 machines will have cron process monitored beside group A have sendmail and group B have syslog processes monitored.
Is above syntax supported in hobbit-client.cfg ?

I asked this same question awhile back and never received an answer, but I tries a couple different ways and never could get it to work.
------------my original post------------- Can the same technique used in the hobbit-alerts.cfg for defining a group of hosts be used in the hobbit-clients.cfg? Example:
$HG_NOTES=(athena|ids|isis).foo.com
HOST=%$HG_NOTES PROC notes TRACK=notes "TEXT=Lotus Notes"

Glad to know I am not the only one has this need. I am using following work-around solution(IMHO) for now.
HOST=%(a|b).com PROC sendmail 1 -1 red PROC cron 1 -1 red
HOST=%(b1|b2).com PROC syslog 1 -1 red PROC cron 1 -1 red

Im doing the same for now, it just gets ugly when you have 40 servers you need to define and could use the one rule to do it, and you have anywhere from 50 to 60 rules like this. Im trying to consolidate to make the file a little more manageable for other folks that arent as savy with this stuff.

Just curious but if you're going to require that cron be running on all your hosts, can't you just add it to your default at the bottom of the file and add exceptions to the host defs? (don't get me wrong, I do understand the need for nested macros...just asking for this particular example)

Agree with your point and excuse the bad example of using "cron". I should have use other process as example.

Any http checks in your bb-hosts file ? These will use DNS, regardless of --dns=ip or testip settings. If you don't want that, use the "http://www.foo.com=1.2.3.4/" syntax (see bb-hosts(5)).
Also, hosts with an IP of "0.0.0.0" (or other invalid IP adresses) will trigger a DNS lookup.
Regards, Henrik
http checks are ok using dns. I am sure it is the 0.0.0.0 addresses causing some of my problems.
Therefore for the hosts configured with 0.0.0.0 etc.. should I put a real value in the bb-hosts instead with the noconn/noping option to stop the dns queries?
