[hobbit] Can I do macro in hobbit-client.cfg like hobbit-alerts.cfg ?

[T.J. Yang]

Glad to know I am not the only one has this need. I am using following work-around solution(IMHO) for now.


HOST=%(a|b).com
    PROC sendmail 1 -1 red
    PROC cron 1 -1 red

HOST=%(b1|b2).com
    PROC syslog 1 -1 red
    PROC cron 1 -1 red
