The first thing you should check is if the Xymon client is listed as a 
"ghost": From the Reports menu, pick "Ghost clients" and see if your 
server is listed there.

Servers on this list are reporting data to Xymon using a hostname that 
Xymon doesn't recognize.

If it is there, then add "CLIENT:<real hostname from the ghost list>" to 
the entry for xymonclient in your hosts.cfg file. Then run "killall -HUP 
xymond" to force Xymon to reload the hosts.cfg file (this is just to 
speed things up, it will automatically reload the host file every 10 
minutes). Wait 5 minutes until xymonclient sends a new set of data to 
the Xymon server, then it should show up as you expect.
