You might experiment with the GROUP= directive, see documentation for it
in the hobbit-clients.cfg and hobbit-alerts.cfg man pages.

Maybe something like:

Hobbit-client.cfg

  HOST=myhost.org

      LOG /var/log/messages %failure*|%failed*|%error*|%Warning*
COLOR=red GROUP=mypeople

      LOG /var/log/www_server_4881.log %exceeded* COLOR=red GROUP=yourpeople

 

Hobbit-alerts.cfg

HOST=myhost.org

      MAIL user at something.org GROUP=mypeople SERVICE=msgs REPEAT=30m
COLOR=red RECOVERED
      MAIL user at something.org GROUP=yourpeople SERVICE=msgs REPEAT=30m
COLOR=red RECOVERED

Hope this helps.
