Please disregard this question. I found the answer in the man pages for
hobbit-client.cfg and analysis.cfg. And the answer is yes, the file is
still evaluated from top to bottom.

Currently running Xymon 4.2.3 and on the verge of upgrading to 4.3.17.
Given the various filename changes involved with 4.3.x move, I'm reviewing
and cleaning my config files.
The last block of documentation in my current hobbit-clients.cfg says:
"Rules are evaluated from the top of this file and down, and the first
matching rule is used. So you should put the specific rules first, and the
generic rules last."
Is this still true?
The ~/xymon-4.2.3/hobbitd/etcfiles/hobbit-clients.cfg and
~/xymon-4.3.17/xymond/etcfiles/analysis.cfg do not have this block or
anything on order of evaluation.
Basically, I want to verify db1 goes RED for a load of 35, db[3-5] at 22,
and everything else at 10 using this configuration:
HOST=%db1
LOAD 33.0 35.0
HOST=%db(1|3|4|5)
LOAD 17.0 22.0
PROC tnslsnr
PROC ntpd
PROC postfix
DEFAULT
# These are the built-in defaults.
UP 1h
LOAD 5.0 10.0
Thanks.
