That will only work for server-side tests (that originate from the Xymon net portion). My guess is you can still solve this problem with a combination of directives however -- look at the CLIENT directive. Presuming you can set the client's name in BBWIN to something specific, you can then use that directive to make the Xymon display associate that alternate name to it. Seems like a pain in the neck though. Might be worth it to look into the alternate Windows clients?<br><br></font><br> <br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Hey Everyone, I think I found a bug in xymon, I am monitoring a few hundred servers and I found that servers with similar names but different purposes are trying to report the same
services. For instance, XXXXXXXXXXX486 and XXXXXXXXXXX487 is duplicating the service checks for XXXXXXXXXXX48. Is there any way that anyone knows of to get xymon to look at the entire machine name instead of just the first 12 characters of it?<o:p></o:p></p>

Are the servers in question Solaris zones on the same global zone? If so, many of the checks will be duplicated. This may also happen with other virtual environments, but I've only seen it for Solaris zones. In particular our ESX environment does not have this
problem.<br>
