These are the built-in defaults.

This one above is picking up hosts whose name has `dns' in it even though they are not part of the PAGE dns/dns-OOR

"DEFAULT" applies to any host. Unconditionally. So if you put a "PROC sshd" line in the DEFAULT section, it will check for sshd running on ALL hosts. Doesn't matter if you have other PROC lines specifically for that host; these settings are inclusive (or you couldn't have the rules you have in the first three lines where you want to check for both snmpd and named).

Which is why it is generally not a good idea to put PROC lines in the DEFAULT section.
