This is actually misleading, as you've found out. It only applies to
some of the client checks, not all of them since it wouldn't make sense
for all. E.g. you do want to check all of the PROC settings for a host,
not just the first one.

I'll remove that comment from the default setup.

What exactly is the point in having both of these rules ? I cannot tell
if you want 5 or 9 sm_server processes.

This one also matches the pdcd20-ic1 host. So now there are three rules.

And this one also matches pdcd20-ic1. That makes 4 rules total.

Yep ...
