Yeah, this was a change around 4.3.18:
From: xymon.CHANGES.terabithia
- On new server installs, $XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME will be set to the
MACHINEDOTS value
given by xymoncmd (which derives it from $HOSTNAME or `uname -n`).
$XYMONSERVERWWWNAME will be set to the XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME value.
I believe this was related to the migration of settings from wrapper
scripts to xymoncmd settings, as how $MACHINEDOTS was needed to be inverted
in systemd-land...
This *should* have been handled by the RPM upgrade process around this
time... Not sure why it wasn't in this case :/

Yeah, I thought that was odd, too. I checked my old configs
(non-terabithia) and they are set exactly like you mention. Are you using
the terabithia rpms? I suspect it is something specific to those.

$MACHINEDOTS should be being set in xymonserver.cfg, I think. In my
installation (xymon-4.3.12) I have it the other way around:
XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME="server.domain.com" # The hostname of your
server
MACHINEDOTS="$XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME" # This systems hostname
And for some reason I don't remember, the WWW name is set explicitly:
XYMONSERVERWWWNAME="server.domain.com" # The name used for this
servers' webserver

Hey,
I'm at a loss here. I'm using the Terabithia RPM for my Xymon server
and the links that are provided in emails only use the shortname of my
xymon server. For example,
https://shortname/xymon
instead of
https://shortname.example.com/xymon
I've dug through the xymonserver.cfg file to see where this is being set
and I can trace it to
XYMONSERVERWWWNAME="$XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME" # The name used for
this hosts' webserver
where XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME is defined as
XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME="$MACHINEDOTS" # The hostname of your
server. In the RPM, xymoncmd sets this before we get here
I have FQDN="TRUE" set as well.
Any idea where I can set this to give me the actual fqdn of the server?
I'm assuming that 'xymoncmd' is just pulling in 'hostname' rather than
'hostname -f'. I must be missing something.
Anyone have any insight into what I may be missing?
