Disk monitoring and alerts

We are undergoing some restructuring among support teams, and are 
separating and defining some responsibilities a little better. System 
admins will be called on system specific problems, while DBAs and apps 
support people will be called on others. One of my frequent complaints in 
the past has been getting calls on filled file systems containing Oracle 
trace files, dumps, logs, temporary files etc. that I don't feel I should 
be making decisions to remove, gzip etc. 

That is changing - DBAs will be called on those file systems in other 
environments where we're using HP's ITO (aka Vantage Point / OpenView, 
call it what you will).

I want to try to do the same on the servers I am monitoring with hobbit. 
Is there any way, or a possibility of a feature request that would allow 
me to specify alerts to me for all filesystems, other than a few specific 
ones? E.g. using a modified version of the hobbit-alerts page example:

HOST=www.foo.com
         MAIL dba at foo.com SERVICE=disk.ora-db,disk.ora-idx,disk.ora-log 
REPEAT=1h 
         MAIL unixsupport at foo.com SERVICE=cpu,disk,memory
