Which XyMon config files support "include" directive?

In man documentation it is described only for hosts.cfg: "include filename This tag is used to include another file into the hosts.cfg file at run-time, allowing for a large hosts.cfg file to be split up into more manageable pieces."

Some time ago it was mentioned that it also works for alerts.cfg (but this is not documented) What about other files?

It would be nice to work for all XyMon config files. This would simplify upgrade (I would just include referenced to custom configuration files). For me it is most actual for:

• analysis.cfg
• client-local.cfg We use the 'directory' keyword for hobbit-alerts, hobbitgraph and hobbitlaunch. Very easy to add extra settings without changing the defaults.

Pretty much everything except cgioptions.cfg will allow the use of include/directory commands. (That one is parsed by the shell running the CGI script wrappers instead of xymonlaunch/cmd, which is why it's different.) Probably also the /etc/default/xymon-client or /etc/sysconfig/xymon-client wouldn't respect them, depending on how your init scripts are set up.
