custom hostnames problem
list Deepak Deore
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.

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. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org "It's always suicide-mission this, save-the-planet that.

Yes, I am using the same information which comes with the hostname command. I see one client in ghost report but that client is different one.

The CLIENT option lets you specify an alias that a client can use, but that doesn't rename the client name on the Xymon server. Whatever is the first entry after the IP address (before the has) will be used as the hostname in Xymon pages. If you want to change the display name, use NAME: instead. J
