I thought using CLASS:tag would accomplish this...the man pages and the doc embedded in the analysis.cfg file read this way. However, it seems that it may ONLY be for FILE tests. It would be damn handy if this could be extended to support any test. Since
the systems I'm trying to monitor in the various regions are groups of the same systems, it's a bit of a pain to have to set up the HOST= for all those systems...even with regex. Just being able to use the class would streamline the config files greatly.
(hint, hint, Henrik :-) ). If anyone has actually been able to use this in this fashion, I would love to know. For now, I'm going to have to brute force it.<br>
