I installed the Xymon client on a Red Hat 5 server. It is showing up in
the Ghost report with the 127.0.0.1 IP address. I don't see where in the
configuration files to set the IP address and/or the host name for the
client. Can someone point me to the right place?
We run Hobbit on a Red Hat 4 server. If I should be running a different
client for the RHEL5 box, I'd appreciate a link to where I can get it.
By default CentOS (and it sounds like RHEL too) has the hostname the same as localhost in /etc/hosts. I usually change this so that the hostname has its static IP address instead. This should also fix the Xymon client. You may also need to clear out any *localhost* files in ~xymon/client/tmp too.
Regards,
Malcolm
