Re: [hobbit] how to define a catch-all in hobbit-alerts.cfg

I agree that would simplify things. However we are using (inherited from Big Brother) fairly heterogeneous PAGEs.

Hi Bill,

I have rules defined for many of my 300+ hosts ( a mix of windows and unix servers scattered throughout, and interleaved across, multiple pages. I want to define a default rule for hosts so that, for example, every conn alert goes to my unix administrators. I have experimented with several solutions which do not yield the desired result. e.g.:
HOST=* EXHOST=<> # I can't explicitly list all hosts (too many) and tried macros consisting of wildcard host names 
   MAIL ...

HOST=* EXHOST=<>
    MAIL ... UNMATCHED
if I use only HOST=* then I end up with multiple (sometimes redundant) recipients for some hosts and no recipients for hosts not previously explicitly defined. 

simply group the servers on different pages and match using PAGE=...
