Is it possible you have two different hosts reporting under the same
name? If your reports are coming in more frequently than every five
minutes (check alert history) then you likely have two different
machines reporting the same name.
Thanks,

Jeremy,
Yes, all files in the tmp directory match the hostname of the
machine. It seems as the mismatch is coming from the hobbitd on the
server.
The false alarm is coming up just one time then wanishes.

seems as real alarms are attributed to a wrong hostname because in the
attached data, we see that the xymon agent process is configured
for an
other hostname.
On the client, do you have a file in /tmp (or $XYMONTMP) called
"msg.<name-of-host>.txt"? Does the filename match the hostname? Does
the contents show the correct hostname?
