Ahh, that'll do it then.<br>
<br>
IIRC $HOSTNAME is used if available, but the uname syscall, followed
by a fork to `uname -n` itself, are then used to derive the local
name.<br>
<br>
Just modify XYMONSERVERWWWNAME by hand in xymonserver.cfg to
whatever the external view of the WWW address should be and it
should work.<br>

this was a change around 4.3.18:<br>
<br>
From: xymon.CHANGES.terabithia<br>
<br>
- On new server installs, $XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME will be
set to the MACHINEDOTS value<br>
given by xymoncmd (which derives it from $HOSTNAME or
`uname -n`).<br>
$XYMONSERVERWWWNAME will be set to the
XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME value.<br>
<br>
<br>
I believe this was related to the migration of settings
from wrapper scripts to xymoncmd settings, as how
$MACHINEDOTS was needed to be inverted in
systemd-land...<br>
<br>
This *should* have been handled by the RPM upgrade
process around this time... Not sure why it wasn't in
this case :/<span class="m_8615088254641017218m_9157089623785016238HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

<div>$MACHINEDOTS should be being set in

Hey,<br>
<br>
I'm at a loss here. I'm using the
Terabithia RPM for my Xymon server
and the links that are provided in
emails only use the shortname of
my xymon server. For example,<br>
<br>
<a href="https://shortname/xymon" target="_blank">https://shortname/xymon</a><br>
<br>
instead of<br>
<br>
<a href="https://shortname.example.com/xymon" target="_blank">https://shortname.example.com/<wbr>xymon</a><br>
<br>
I've dug through the
xymonserver.cfg file to see where
this is being set and I can trace
it to<br>
<br>
XYMONSERVERWWWNAME="$XYMONSERV<wbr>ERHOSTNAME"
# The name used for this hosts'
webserver<br>
<br>
where XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME is
defined as<br>
<br>
XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME="$MACHINED<wbr>OTS"
# The hostname of your server. In
the RPM, xymoncmd sets this before
we get here<br>
<br>
I have FQDN="TRUE" set as well.<br>
<br>
Any idea where I can set this to
give me the actual fqdn of the
server? I'm assuming that
'xymoncmd' is just pulling in
'hostname' rather than 'hostname
-f'. I must be missing something.<br>
<br>
Anyone have any insight into what
I may be missing?<span class="m_8615088254641017218m_9157089623785016238m_528437506269328806m_-3964426840280653671HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
