<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Would it be possible to add a default group label for each line automatically in the client configuration so you don’t have to qualify them on every entry? It doesn’t really matter what label name is used. It would make it easier to configure the alerts since all rules would have a group associated and you won’t get excessive notifications on items that don’t have a group label.</FONT></SPAN></P>
