[Xymon] Strange Client Behavior

[Chris.Morris at rwe.com]

This is because your client is reporting as "hostname" and not as
"hostname.example.org".
 
Run your client with the --hostname=hostname.example.org option or add a
CLIENT:hostname.example.org tag to the hosts.cfg entry on the server.

	Xymon users,
	
	Once upon a time I had a xymon client called "hostname". In all
the xymon server config files(hosts.cfg, analysis.cfg, alerts.cfg) the
client was written as "hostname" in the configs when setting its
properties and behavior(alerts, warnings, ect..). Now I wish to change
the way "hostname" appears on the xymon webpage to
"hostname.example.org". 
	
	Bear in mind this "hostname" has a xymon client install so I can
receive all standard and custom reports & scripts. After changing all
the server config files, keeping them constant but now replaced every
instance of "hostname" to "hostname.example.org" the reports are not
showing up on the webpage. I can still see icons and reports for conn,
ssh, http, info.. but NOT the ones that are required by a client
install(disk, cpu, memory, procs, ports, etc...) all those reports
disappeared after the name change.
	
	XYmon server and client service restarts didn't help. I also
hard rebooted the xymon server and that didn't help either. If I were to
change "hostname.example.org" back to "hostname", all the reports and
tests will show up again! I'm confused because I changed the names of
another server and it was fine. So am I missing something stupid?
Anybody have any ideas or experience this before?
	
	Appreciate all the responses, Thanks,
