-
-    apply Service "ping4" {

-    apply Service "mysql" {

+[Apply rules](3-monitoring-basics.md#using-apply) in zone directories underneath `zones.d`
+also match against objects defined outside of that particular zone directory.
 
+To work around this issue you can use an `assign where` rule to limit the apply rule to
+a specific zone:
 
+    assign where host.zone == "dmz1-checker"
