In the hobbit-alerts.cfg file, you could then have rules like
GROUP=web
   MAIL webmaster (at) foo.com
GROUP=admins
   MAIL root (at) foo.com
The above notes in hobbit-clients.cfg explain for httpd process less than 5, 
send alert to web(webaster (at) foo.com).
But I don't know what is the correct syntax to specify more than one recepients ? 

is it "GROUP=web,web2,web3"


GROUP is a criterium, i.e. a way to select which alerts apply
to this rule.

MAIL is an action - what happens when the criterium is matched.

So "GROUP=web,web2" would match any definition in
hobbit-clients.cfg which had a "GROUP=web" or "GROUP=web2"
tag assosiated.

If what you want is to send the alerts to several people, then
you put those on the MAIL line. Like

  GROUP=web
       MAIL joe (at) foo.com,liz (at) bar.org


in my case I have

GROUP=data-team-email
               dataemail (at) work.com
GROUP=data-team-page
               pager (at) work.com

so for some data partitions
I need them to be alerted by both email and pager.
So I should configure my hobbit-client.cfg
as
HOST=dataserver.work.com
       /export 95 99 GROUP=data-team-email,data-team-page

Thanks for the clarification,
