Thank you!
You are correct. The bb-client is sending with FQDN.
The hobbit-client is reporting only its hostname, because when I created an entry in the bb-hostfile on the server without domainname, it worked.
I found out that this is set by the MACHINEDOTS variable in the ./runclient.sh startup script on the client. So now I use it with domain name again.
Only thing I find a little strange is that I could not see this in any logs on the server.
It should be possible to see the servers that reports with a name that not matches the bb-hosts file. Probably I'm just not looking at the right place....

Does bb-hosts include the name of the client?

I have just installed a xymon server.
This receives data from local client.
I have an old bb-client on a second server that reports data to it.
I have also installed a xymon client on another server.
I see via tcp-dump on xymon server that it receives data from it, but I can't see the data anywhere. No indication in the logs either.
Any ideas why this data does not come into the xymon server?
