How to handle graphite multi-valued metrics about tattle HOT 4 CLOSED

This would definitely be a nice feature to add. Right now you can sort of fake it by wrapping your target in graphite's highestAverage() function I think, but that alert wouldn't tell you which or how many hosts actually tripped the check. In terms of code we'd just have to figure out the best way to process each array of results separately and how to convey the information properly in an alert.

wrapping it in max will work as well.

One thing I learned today is there is a boolean OR you can apply. So in @tlk2126 's case you could use
system.{host_a,host_b}.cpu_load so you could leave out test_host...

@tlk2126 I think this is definitely an issue to be solved using graphite target syntax, being them {} instead of * as proposed by @mreeves1 or being them functions like maxSeries() and exclude() (see http://graphite.readthedocs.org/en/latest/functions.html#graphite.render.functions.exclude).
Therefore I close the issue.
