[hobbit] Alerts for page including subpages

[Whilding, Craig]

Ah cheers, I looked under "Configuring Alerts" and didn't see anything about it there, only seemed to apply to hosts. 
Ill have a play with my regular expressions.

Hi

take a look at the hobbit-alerts.cfg(5) manpage :


*PAGE=targetstring* Rule matching an alert by the name of the page in 
BB. This is the path of the page as defined in the bb-hosts file. E.g. 
if you have this setup:

    page servers All Servers
    subpage web Webservers
    10.0.0.1 www1.foo.com
    subpage db Database servers
    10.0.0.2 db1.foo.com
        

Then the "All servers" page is found with *PAGE=servers*, the 
"Webservers" page is *PAGE=servers/web* and the "Database servers" page 
is *PAGE=servers/db*. Note that you can also use regular expressions to 
specify the page name, e.g. *PAGE=%.*/db* would find the "Database 
servers" page regardless of where this page was placed in the hierarchy.

The top-level page has a the fixed name */*, e.g. *PAGE=/* would match 
all hosts on the Hobbit frontpage. If you need it in a regular 
expression, use *PAGE=%^/* to avoid matching the forward-slash present 
in subpage-names.
