[Xymon] Host Names

[Scot Kreienkamp]

Try something like:

10.1.2.3 testhost # CLIENT:my host.site.secure

Don’t do that.  That means the server will look for a client reporting in with that name instead of testhost.  That’s not what you want as that will affect alerting, analysis, etc.  You want to use the name tag as another post has pointed out.

Also, as a side question: If I were to add the same host three times under 3 different aliases, with all the network tests disabled, would that cause any issues within Xymon?

I don't think so.


The only consequence is Xymon will complain about multiple hosts entries.  On the duplicates you need to put noconn or put prefer on one of the lines so it knows which of the duplicate lines to prefer for test configuration.
