The monitrc config file is not a shell script.
As written in the monit manual in the part 'Alert message layout'
$HOST, $EVENT, $SERVICE, $DESCRIPTION,$DATE are used to
setup custom alert message.

Just put the hostname in the line:
check process hobbit with pidfile
'/usr/lib/hobbit/client/logs/clientlaunch.$HOST.pid

You don't change the hostname often, right? :)
