[Xymon] Quick Question

[Jamison Maxwell]

They were ghost clients.  I meant to respond earlier today but got busy.  For some reason, prior to dropping the tests Xymon wanted just the hostname, but then afterwards it wanted the FQDN.  It was odd.

My first thought is to either check the log for the test (assuming it's an external) because it is not sending data, or to check the ghost clients (though it sounds like the same client has other tests showing and that would generally cause all tests to show up under ghosts unless your external script is really badly written).
