Hi.

I noticed a bug in the Trends page in 4.3.4 (possibly earlier as well).

If I press any of the buttons to change the time period for which to show graphs (or manually enter a custom period), the short name of the host is used (as specified with NAME: in hosts.cfg), giving me a "No such host" error. I can see in the address bar that the hostname is changed from FQDN to the short name, and it works if I manually enter the full name.

The ~/xymon/server/web/trends_form passes the value of XYMWEBHOST to the 
svcstatus.cgi. This variable holds the value of NAME:hostname if 
specified in hosts.cfg (defaults to the hostname).
You can set XYMWEBHIKEY instead if you want to force the cgi to use the 
hostname.

Thanks, now it works. But is there any reason to have XYMWEBHOST there? I guess it always causes a problem if the names are not identical?
