I decided to try something else. I decided to create a display group for
each type of server, and then specify host checks specific to that group.
For example...from analysis.cfg:
PAGE=DELTS2/LINUX
PROC cron 1 -1 red
PROC ntpd 1 -1 yellow
DISPLAYGROUP="Linux External Production Servers - Virtual"
PROC vmware-guestd 1 -1 yellow
PROC /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc 1 -1 red
PROC /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmcad 1 -1 red
DISPLAYGROUP="Linux Internal Production Servers - Virtual"
PROC vmware-guestd 1 -1 yellow
PROC /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc 1 -1 red
PROC /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmcad 1 -1 red
DISPLAYGROUP="Linux Internal Production Servers - Physical"
PROC /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc 1 -1 red
PROC /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmcad 1 -1 red
DISPLAYGROUP="Linux External Production Servers - Physical"
PROC /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc 1 -1 red
PROC /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmcad 1 -1 red
PAGE=DELTS2/WIN
SVC MpsSvc status=started startup=automatic
DISPLAYGROUP="Windows External Production Servers - Virtual"
SVC VMTools status=started startup=automatic
DISPLAYGROUP="Windows Internal Production Servers - Virtual"
SVC VMTools status=started startup=automatic
And from hosts.cfg:
page DELTS2 DELTS Servers - By Type
subpage LINUX Linux Servers
group Linux External Production Servers - Physical
group Linux External Production Servers - Virtual
group Linux Internal Production Servers - Physical
.... and so on ...
I confirmed that each server only belongs to one group, and that the group
name is unique across xymon.
For tee, I'm now getting:
cron (found 1, req. 1 or more)
vmware-guestd (found 1, req. 1 or more)
/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc (found 1, req. 1 or more)
/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmcad (found 1, req. 1 or more)
vmware-guestd (found 1, req. 1 or more)
/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc (found 1, req. 1 or more)
/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmcad (found 1, req. 1 or more)
/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc (found 1, req. 1 or more)
/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmcad (found 1, req. 1 or more)
/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc (found 1, req. 1 or more)
/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmcad (found 1, req. 1 or more)
mysqld (found 2, req. 2 or more)
So for the page declaration, I'm still only getting the first proc
definition (ntpd is missing) and then I'm getting VMWare twice, and our
backup client 4 times, even though it should only match once. Then I'm
getting the mysqld test, which is specified in a HOST=tee entry.
I've also noticed that these linux tests are now being applied against all
linux and windows hosts in Xymon. So I'm clearly abusing or
misunderstanding the DISPLAYGROUP functionality.
Any advice?

Thanks for the suggestion. It didn't seem to work at all though.
I think I have messed with the file so much now I can't remember what sort
of worked and what didn't work at all.
I think I'm still stuck with the problem where only custom page
declaration gets picked up, and only one of the directives in the group,
plus anything in the specific host group.
So for this:
PAGE=DELTS2/LINUX
PROC cron 1 -1 red "TEXT=crond : Task Scheduler"
PROC ntpd 1 -1 yellow "TEXT=ntpd : Network Time Client"
PAGE=DELTS2/L-VM
PROC vmware-guestd 1 -1 yellow "TEXT=VMWare Tools"
HOST=tee
PROC mysqld 2 -1 red
tee reports only for cron and mysql. If I comment out cron, then I get
ntpd and mysql. If I move the vmware rule to the top of the list, I get
vmware and mysql proc checks. So it seems that only one test for a page
specification gets reported on, and only the first one at the top of the
page.
At this point I should probably point out that I have 4.3.10 server, but
for the most part 4.2.3 (I think) clients on linux, and bbwin .12 or .13 on
windows. However I don't think that will matter much.

Try to assign hosts to variables like:
$GROUP_PROD=host1,host2, host5
$GROUP_TEST=host3,host6....
$GROUP_ALL=$GROUP_PROD,$GROUP_**TEST
etc.
and then define rules using such variables instead of real hostnames or
reg.expressions
This is working for alerts, may be it is working for analysis as well.
Not checked yet.
