JC,
    Would we be able to see the GROUP= when running the xymond_client --dump-config?
I need to send out emails to different groups and I was trying to use the GROUP= and it's not
working.  I posted this about a week ago and got no hits.

Some possibilities:

Did you wait for xymond_client to reload analysis.cfg after the change?
Alternatively, did you remove/reorder the DISK sections or comment them
out in place? It's possible the catchall entry wasn't applied and what was
actually alerting was the default DISK section.

Can you run xymond_client --dump-config after the change to see what's
happening?
