<div>No, you can have a per-machine specification in addition to the platform specification:<br>
<br>
<br>
The file is divided into sections, delimited by "[name]" lines. A section name can be either an operating system identifier - linux, solaris, hp-ux,<br>
aix, freebsd, openbsd, netbsd, darwin - or a hostname. When deciding which section to send to a client, Xymon will first look for a section named<br>
after the hostname of the client; if such a section does not exist, it will look for a section named by the operating system of the client. So you can<br>
configure special configurations for individual hosts, and have a default configuration for all other hosts of a certain type.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Larry Barber<br>

<div>Oops, mis-typed, and if I only wanted it for one host? Or is the only option to have all machines of that platform send that data despite it only existing on one system? I was under the impression that both types of specification, hosts and platforms
were available in client-local.cfg.</div>
