The Xymon client that generates the client data messages (from where these metrics come) will use the $XYMSRV environment variable, and send to whatever IP address is defined therein. Sometimes this is set to "0.0.0.0" which tells the Xymon client to look at $XYMSERVERS as a list of multiple destinations. I suspect you have XYMSERVERS="127.0.0.1 xx.xxx.226.227". On a Xymon server these variables are is set in xymonserver.cfg.</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div>J</div><div><br></div></font></span></div></div></div>
