We've inserted information using the "Descr:" tags in our bb-hosts file that we'd like to be able to include in some of our alerts.

Is there a variable that we can use in our paging scripts to include this information - or is there a way to grab this information about a host when sending an alert?

I've implemented this now for Hobbit 4.2. Scripts will get a series of environment variables named BBH_something with the contents of the bb-hosts definition for the host. (See the lib/loadhosts.h file for the full list). So your script can use the $BBH_DESCR environment for this.
