When I change the default hostname of the BBDISPLAY server in my hosts.cfg
it no longer shows the cpu, disk, uptime, etc stuff on the webpage.  I
don't want to use the default hostname because it's a long string created
by AWS.  What do I need to modify in the configs to make the system stuff
show back up on the webpage?

Thank you.

I think you need to change XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME in xymonserver.cfg.

This is important because (also in xymonserver.cfg) MACHINEDOTS is set to
the same value as XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME, and MACHINEDOTS is used to create
MACHINE, which is the hostname used by the client modules.
