</div>

</div><p class="MsoNormal">Xymon users,</p><div><div><br>
<br>
Once upon a time I had a xymon client called "hostname". In all the xymon server config files(hosts.cfg, analysis.cfg, alerts.cfg) the client was written as "hostname" in the configs when setting its properties and behavior(alerts, warnings, ect..). Now I wish
to change the way "hostname" appears on the xymon webpage to "<a href="http://hostname.example.org" target="_blank">hostname.example.org</a>".
<br>
<br>
Bear in mind this "hostname" has a xymon client install so I can receive all standard and custom reports & scripts. After changing all the server config files, keeping them constant but now replaced every instance of "hostname" to "<a href="http://hostname.example.org" target="_blank">hostname.example.org</a>"
the reports are not showing up on the webpage. I can still see icons and reports for conn, ssh, http, info.. but NOT the ones that are required by a client install(disk, cpu, memory, procs, ports, etc...) all those reports disappeared after the name change.<br>
<br>
XYmon server and client service restarts didn't help. I also hard rebooted the xymon server and that didn't help either. If I were to change "<a href="http://hostname.example.org" target="_blank">hostname.example.org</a>" back to "hostname", all the reports and tests will
show up again! I'm confused because I changed the names of another server and it was fine. So am I missing something stupid? Anybody have any ideas or experience this before?<br>
<br>
Appreciate all the responses, Thanks,<br>
