variables in hobbit-alerts.cfg

[Rob McBroom]

So I have a fancy new mail filter script that allows me to send mail to admins+servername at mail.blah.com in order to reach the people responsible for servername.

I'd like to use this in hobbit-alerts, but I can't seem to find a way. It seems I can match on hostname (HOST=xyz) to decide where alerts should go, and I can get the hostname (BBHOSTNAME) inside of a custom SCRIPT, but I can't use it in the hobbit-alerts directly.

For instance, this

    MAIL admins+$BBHOSTNAME at mail.blah.com

tries to sent the message to admins+$BBHOSTNAME at mail.blah.com.

Yes, I can do an external script, but I'd really rather not recreate the messages Xymon is sending out anyway just to change the recipient. Is there a variable that represents the hostname in the alerts file?

Thanks.
