Our BB configuration pre-dates FQDN support, so my bb-hosts file has only hostnames in it. I'll either need to disable FQDN on Xymon or insert "testip" all over my hosts.cfg. I'll probably do the latter because I think it is finally time to embrace fqdn.
You can set FQDN="FALSE" in xymonserver.cfg, and it should work just like
your old BB server.
A quick way of setting "testip" for all hosts is to add a ".default." at
the top of hosts.cfg:
0.0.0.0 .default. # testip
If you need to turn it off again somewhere, just define it again, but
blank:
0.0.0.0 .default. #
But of course, using fqdn's really is the best solution.
