I can't get xymon to use the defined load settings for named hosts. It only reacts on the settings from the DEFAULT section.

part of analysis.cfg:

... HOST=%ssnts.*,sspro01 TIME=W:0600:1800 LOAD 60 80 PROC %.*.EXE TRACK=Programme

...

These are the built-in defaults.

DEFAULT UP 1h LOAD 15 25 DISK * 90 95 SWAP 50 80 MEMPHYS 100 101 MEMSWAP 50 80 MEMACT 90 97

client data for SSPRO01 as reported by bbwin 0.12:

[collector:] client SSPRO01.bbwin win32 [date] Wed Dec 07 16:45:46 2011 [clock] epoch: 1323272746 local: Wed Dec 07 16:45:46 2011 UTC: Wed Dec 07 15:45:46 2011 [osversion] Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2, Standard x64 Edition Service Pack 2 (build 3790) [cpu] up: 0 days, 0 users, 45 procs, load=17%

CPU states: total 17% cpu00 16.1% ....

In this case the display goes to yellow because "17%" is between the default values 15 and 25. I've tried to add a percent sign to the host load definitions but that doesn't change anything. I hope the syntax for the HOST directive is right?
