What is the output of "hostname" on the clients?

That is the information that should be after the IP address.

Also, look in your ghost clients list under Reports...you'll see the
proper name for the clients, there.

I have xymon clients with the weird name, i tried adding CLIENT:name as
mentioned in http://lists.xymon.com/oldarchive/2005/07/msg00362.html, but
still the new name is not appearing.

10.x.x.x   diff-host-name-app01.example.com  # noconn nofiles nobbd
NOCOLUMNS:files CLASS:STG CLIENT:app01-stg

but the new hostname is not coming. I know we can use MACHINEDOTS but that
i dont want because for ping test we use custom script which fails if
hostname after 10.x.x.x is changes as per MACHINEDOTS variable.
