Spoofing host names
list Michael Beatty
I have a lab system I am trying to test Xymon with where all of the lab systems have the same host name that is the same as a single production system. For example, I have 3 lab computers... Lab1, Lab2, Lab3. They all have a hostname of prod101 (this is necessary for other system testing) How can I test running xymon on these lab systems when they all have the same host name? -- Michael Beatty Sherwin-Williams IT Analyst/Developer user-4aea7c115850@xymon.invalid XXX-XXX-XXXX

They need to have *some* unique identification for Xymon to be able to tell which is which. So decide what name you'll use for each. Then start the client with the "--hostname=MYHOSTNAME" option. Regards, Henrik
