<br></div>Do you have any explanation why i have all these files? Shouldn't it be only one named msg.otpproxy1.txt and not the second named msg.otpproxy1.temenosgroup.com.txt?<div class="im"><br>Regards,<br>Traian.<br>

Hi,<br>
I have added the short name to hosts.cfg otpproxy1 not <a rel="nofollow" href="http://otpproxy1.temenosgroup.com" target="_blank">otpproxy1.temenosgroup.com</a>. On the Xymon page i have the conn, disk, cpu, procs... all the tests are active there(it means the server receives the client data report).<br>
But the client seems to send the data report using the FQDN also and the server sees it like ghost client.<br>
How can i do to prevent it.<br>
Regards,<br>
Traian.<br>
<div><br>
<br>
<br>
Simple stuff first, do you have the client listed in ~/server/etc/hosts.cfg ?<br>
<br>
A little clarification: ghost clients are generally clients that are sending data to the server, but the server is not configured to display them.<br>
