When my Xymon instance generated alert emails, the link at the bottom links like this:

Can anyone tell me how to have these links get generated to use the actual hostname instead of localhost?

Thanks!

Just a small hint: "xymoncmd" is your friend. It will open a new shell
with all xymon environment variables set, and then you can find out what
your active settings are.
Just type "xymond", and then "set | grep WWW" to get your WWW variables.
Also very useful in custom scripts, if you need the xymon environment.
