Not correct. Xymon receives the client information from xymon-
client, sends this through the hobbitd_client module which reads
the configuration and generates the cpu-, disk-, procs- etc. status-
messages.

So once the client message has been processed, the status is fixed.
The fact that there's a CGI script which generates a webpage from
the status doesn't change that.

Unfortunately that is not possible right now. It is an enhancement I 
would like to make that you could create multiple "procs" messages
with different groups of processes - that would solve your problem,
and would also allow us to focus alerts more directly to the application
team responsible for a specific application. Same method could be used
for e.g. "disk" status.
