The answer was that I hadn't fully read the comments at the beginning of the file. The DEFAULT section should be last in the file.
Thanks.

Hello all, this should be an easy one.
I have two hobbit/xymon servers at different sites. One (the older original) is Hobbit 4.2.0 and the other which was recently installed is Xymon 4.2.3. I have all clients sending data to both servers and this is working fine. In the hobbit-clients.cfg at both sites I have some adjustments that are different than default for monitoring, basically upping the warning thresholds. I've made many updates to this file on the older server and it works fine. On the newer xymon server, I copied the configuration entry for a particular client from the older hobbit server to the new xymon server and it seems to be ignored and I continue to get warning messages. I believe this is the way to up thresholds is it not?
These are the entries that I'm using. Any ideas whether this is a syntax issue or something else? Thanks in advance.
