Is it possible you have two different hosts reporting under the same name?
If your reports are coming in more frequently than every five minutes
(check alert history) then you likely have two different machines reporting
the same name.

Thanks,
Larry Barber

Jeremy,

Yes, all files in the tmp directory match the hostname of the machine. It
seems as the mismatch is coming from the hobbitd on the server.
The false alarm is coming up just one time then wanishes.

Since last Thuesday, we encourter false alarms on procs and disk tests.
It
seems as real alarms are attributed to a wrong hostname because in the
attached data, we see that the xymon agent process is configured for an
other hostname.
On the client, do you have a file in /tmp (or $XYMONTMP) called
"msg.<name-of-host>.txt"?  Does the filename match the hostname?  Does
the contents show the correct hostname?
