Hi Ralph

You can get a blend (merge) of the two:

from   /help/manpages/man5/client-local.cfg.5.html

"If xymond is started with the "--merge-clientlocal" option, then xymond
will instead merge all of the matching sections into one, and return all
of this data to the client"


It appears to be global of course, and that may not be what you want.

I only knew about this because I have been working with alerting, and
other settings recently and have been in and out of the docs quite a bit. :)

Hope that helps!

Bill
