This was a fresh install (switched over when I replaced the old Centos 6 server). It started fresh with 4.3.27. Both hostname and uname -n provide the shortname.

Yeah, this was a change around 4.3.18:
From: xymon.CHANGES.terabithia
- On new server installs, $XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME will be set to the MACHINEDOTS value given by xymoncmd (which derives it from $HOSTNAME or
uname -n). $XYMONSERVERWWWNAME will be set to the XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME value.I believe this was related to the migration of settings from wrapper scripts to xymoncmd settings, as how $MACHINEDOTS was needed to be inverted in systemd-land...
This *should* have been handled by the RPM upgrade process around this time... Not sure why it wasn't in this case :/

Yeah, I thought that was odd, too. I checked my old configs (non-terabithia) and they are set exactly like you mention. Are you using the terabithia rpms? I suspect it is something specific to those.

$MACHINEDOTS should be being set in xymonserver.cfg, I think. In my installation (xymon-4.3.12) I have it the other way around:
XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME="server.domain.com" # The hostname of your server MACHINEDOTS="$XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME" # This systems hostname
And for some reason I don't remember, the WWW name is set explicitly:
XYMONSERVERWWWNAME="server.domain.com" # The name used for this servers' webserver

Hey,
I'm at a loss here. I'm using the Terabithia RPM for my Xymon server and the links that are provided in emails only use the shortname of my xymon server. For example,
instead of
https://shortname.example.com/xymon
I've dug through the xymonserver.cfg file to see where this is being set and I can trace it to
XYMONSERVERWWWNAME="$XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME" # The name used for this hosts' webserver
where XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME is defined as
XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME="$MACHINEDOTS" # The hostname of your server. In the RPM, xymoncmd sets this before we get here
I have FQDN="TRUE" set as well.
Any idea where I can set this to give me the actual fqdn of the server? I'm assuming that 'xymoncmd' is just pulling in 'hostname' rather than 'hostname -f'. I must be missing something.
Anyone have any insight into what I may be missing?
