[hobbit] hobbit-alerts.cfg -- Perl regex

[Werner Michels (Ext Lists)]

Robert,

	Please try change the HG definition as:

$HG-WinSvrsCrit=%nyc(app1|dc1|dc2|ex1|ex03|fs1|fs2|time).domain.com

	Observe that the "%" is the first char and this indicates that your using perl regex.
	With this change your host group should work fine. 
	
	-wm
