[Xymon] Analysis.cfg Host name help

[Martin Lenko]

String that begins with % is interpreted as a regular expression, not a
wildcard. To get it working in your case use either

HOST=%serverweb.prod
HOST=%serverweb.*prod

First one matches a single character between "serverweb" and "prod", second
one matches any string between them.
