I think that Xymon works this way:
Xymon server receives client information from the xymon-client, stores this
information and then generate the xymon webpage on request.
When xymon server is asked for a specifik page for clienta+proc, the xymon
server check what to do with the stored information against the
server/etc/hobbit-client.cfg file and the generates the webpage.
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.
basicly I want to make 1 page showing everything of interest for the
sysadmins and another one only showing part of the clienta+proc specifik 
for a given customer.
I have Proc, Ports and Services for many customers on the same server and
would to be able to tell which customer is affected when some monitor goes
red.
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.
