I am looking with watcher, to create metric alerts and i am having some problems.

I have created one watcher alert for CPU grater then "0.012" for testing only, to send an alert to me.  
but have worked out that the watcher is seeing 4 hosts, alerting with this value but am only reviving one alert, what is an problem as i like to include the host name in my alert.

So to be able to do what i am after can i use one watcher alert for CPU  
or  
would i need to create an watcher CPU alert for each host i have

Any thoughts
