Have you checked your Ghost Clients page? ****
** **
If the hostname doesn’t match between what the server’s expecting and
what the client’s sending, then the reports will land on the Ghost Clients
page.****

Hope that helps.****

*Subject:* [Xymon] Strange Client Behavior****
** **
Xymon users,
Once upon a time I had a xymon client called "hostname". In all the xymon
server config files(hosts.cfg, analysis.cfg, alerts.cfg) the client was
written as "hostname" in the configs when setting its properties and
behavior(alerts, warnings, ect..). Now I wish to change the way "hostname"
appears on the xymon webpage to "hostname.example.org".
Bear in mind this "hostname" has a xymon client install so I can receive
all standard and custom reports & scripts. After changing all the server
config files, keeping them constant but now replaced every instance of
"hostname" to "hostname.example.org" the reports are not showing up on
the webpage. I can still see icons and reports for conn, ssh, http, info..
but NOT the ones that are required by a client install(disk, cpu, memory,
procs, ports, etc...) all those reports disappeared after the name change.
XYmon server and client service restarts didn't help. I also hard
rebooted the xymon server and that didn't help either. If I were to change "
hostname.example.org" back to "hostname", all the reports and tests will
show up again! I'm confused because I changed the names of another server
and it was fine. So am I missing something stupid? Anybody have any ideas
or experience this before?
Appreciate all the responses, Thanks,
