Hi Tim,
for future readers: There is an error in the man page xymond(8): --merge-clientconfig in xymond(8) is **wrong**. The option --merge-clientlocal documented in client-local.cfg(5) is correct.
You added this in tasks.cfg to the launch of xymond, right?
I have this running successfully in a Linux-environment with host-specific ([host=%www.*]) and class ([linux])-sections and the sections merge fine.
Cheers Thomas

We have set up a new 4.3.28 xymon server, and will be migrating hosts to it in the next few weeks. On it I would like to start to use the --merge-clientlocal command. In testing, Windows powershell clients pick up either the individual host section OR the powershell section, it does not merge. Are there subtleties not in the man-pages that people have found to get it to work? (note that the xymond man-page states to use --merge-clientconfig, but that doesn't work either)
Could it be the section/host headings, or order? I have:
[server1] file:somefile
[server2] file:different file
[os=powershell] (also tried [class=powershell] and [powershell] alone) xymonlogsend clientversion:2.28:http://url <http://url/> Thanks, Tim Williams
