[Xymon] False Alarm

[Gautier Begin]

Larry,

Sorry Larry, but it's not. What's curious is that raw data are correctly 
registered (rrd, data history ...) but alarms . 

Cordialement, Regards,Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Is it possible you have two different hosts reporting under the same name? 
If your reports are coming in more frequently than every five minutes 
(check alert history) then you likely have two different machines 
reporting the same name.

Thanks,

Jeremy, 

Yes, all files in the tmp directory match the hostname of the machine. It 
seems as the mismatch is coming from the hobbitd on the server. 
The false alarm is coming up just one time then wanishes.

On the client, do you have a file in /tmp (or $XYMONTMP) called
"msg.<name-of-host>.txt"?  Does the filename match the hostname?  Does
the contents show the correct hostname?
