[Xymon] Ghost client problems

[Pavel Traian]

Hi,
I have added the short name to hosts.cfg otpproxy1 not otpproxy1.temenosgroup.com. On the Xymon page i have the conn, disk, cpu, procs... all the tests are active there(it means the server receives the client data report).
But the client seems to send the data report using the FQDN also and the server sees it like ghost client.
How can i do to prevent it.
Regards,
Traian.



Simple stuff first, do you have the client listed in ~/server/etc/hosts.cfg ?

A little clarification: ghost clients are generally clients that are sending data to the server, but the server is not configured to display them.
