<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Good day! </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We had renamed 2 hosts today and renamed
all (I hope) at host level and in XyMon config and restarted XyMon server
and clients too.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Rename in XyMon was done as:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">a) changes records in hosts.cfg</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">b) xymon 127.0.0.1:port "rename
OLD_HOST NEW_HOST"</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Now XyMon Server (4.3.11) - generates
purple for 1st host in non-green and group reports while every test details
shows green, yellow, red and so on what is expected.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">the same server - generates normal reports
for 2nd host renames</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We have 2 XyMon server for High Availability
and clients send info to both.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The 2nd XyMon Server (4.3.4) - generate
normal reports for both renamed hosts.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">So, question N 1 is - how to find where
is the problem?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">This only thing I had found in info
report (which with trends are always green by the way) </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">is that different status for the same
metric is reported with minimal interval delta (~ 10 min which may be time
since hostname change and xymon client restart and when "rename"
was called at XyMon server.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">For example:</font>

<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">This mean XyMon counts summary for 2
hostnames - new one (with info received just after hostname rename) and
old one, but renamed to new name.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">By the way, I had found on both XyMon
servers there are still directories for old nad new hostnames under xymon/data/hostdata/</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">old host data not updated any more,
but new ones only. </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Question N2: Is it expected or after
xymon "rename ... " call all should be merged into
one directory per host?</font>
