That was it. Thank you so much. That was driving me crazy.
I've been using Xymon for a decade or so and I had the "DEFAULT" section at
the top of analysis.cfg all of that time. I'm not sure why some of my
customizations were even working.

From the man page: "The entire file is evaluated from the top to bottom,
and the first match found is used. So you should put the specific settings
first, and the generic ones last."
The DEFAULT section should be the LAST section, and the Powershell above
it.

I had no idea that was a possibility. I love the approach.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be working. I put your example (sans
"DISK") in my analysis.cfg file just below the DEFAULT section and above
the first HOST=... section. Then I ran three YouTube videos to force the
load above 10% for a while. The alert went red.
Based on some online research, I added "CLASS:powershell" to the end of
that host's line in hosts.cfg. Then I waited a bit over 5 minutes. The
alert stayed red.
Is there a way to see what class a host is reporting in as?
Is there an easier way to see if the desired settings are applying to the
host than waiting 5 minutes to see if the alarm changes?
