[Xymon] Clients not loading custom client-local.cfg values

[Jeremy Laidman]

What does your "client data" page show as your config class?  It's the last
word of the first line in the [collector:] section.

I note that you show "-class" set to "suse-srv" but your client-local.cfg
entry set to "suse-srvs" instead.  Was that a typo in your email, or in
your configuration?

Also, the "--class" suffix has two dashes, and you listed only one.

Also, after changes to client-local.cfg, you might need to kill the
"xymond" process (it should restart automatically) to have the changes take
effect.

It should work for you.  The man page for client-local.cfg states that only
the hostname and OS name are used when matching the relevant section, and
doesn't mention the config class.  Despite this, I see posts indicating
that people are using this.  Indeed Henrik has said that it's actually the
class that's matched, and the class defaults to the OS type.  I think the
doco needs updating in this regard.
