Im trying to make a escalation that aggregates all services and machines. Like this:

define serviceescalation{
        host_name               *
        service_description     *
        first_notification      4
        last_notification       0
        notification_interval   30
        contact_groups  pt.compal.it.systems
}
and I got the following error:
Error: Could not find any host matching '*'
Error: Could not expand hostgroups and/or hosts specified in service escalation

If I make:
define serviceescalation{
        host_name               alg*
        service_description     *
        first_notification      4
        last_notification       0
        notification_interval   30
        contact_groups  pt.compal.it.systems
}
Error: Could not find a service matching host name 'rterm-mpls.compal.pt' and description '*'
Error: Could not expand services specified in service escalation

how can alg* match with rterm-mpls.compal.pt ?

Next, if i make:
define serviceescalation{
        host_name               alg*
        service_description     a*
        first_notification      4
        last_notification       0
        notification_interval   30
        contact_groups  pt.compal.it.systems
}

the configurations passes with nagios -v option, but there is a problem: i dont have any service_description starting with char 'a'.

This is relly a bug? i think so!
It can be solved?
