[hobbit] hosts wildcards in clients-local.cfg (was [hobbit] CLASS and alerts)

[Morsiani, Massimo]

Hi Henrik,

you wrote that we can use CLASS=... in hobbit-alerts.cfg (see your
attached email).

But what is the right way to use this tag in hobbit-alerts.cfg?
I didn't find anything in Hobbit man-pages.


Regards.

Yes, both hobbit-clients.cfg and hobbit-alerts.cfg support a CLASS=...
way of selecting hosts.
