Yes, this.  Paraphrasing the man page for analysis.cfg, the target string
is exactly one of:
(a) comma-separated list of hostnames
(b) "*" to indicate "all hosts"
(c) a Perl-compatible regular expression

Pick one.  You're trying to mix these and it won't work.

This won't work because "*" is not a valid regular expression in the HOST=
part.  But the "%" should not be needed there because HOST=* matches item
(b).

David's example should work for you because it's one single regular
expression - item (c).
