Hi Larry,
You are going to have to do some troubleshooting. As I said this NAME directive does work for others, so there may be a bug with xymon or there may be some odd issue with your installation. There is nothing obviously wrong, so please, look into your log fies, turn up debugging, try different things to see if you can work out what is happening.
Good luck and let us know how you went.
cheers, Phil

I removed the NAME: directive from one of the affected hosts, and the trends graphing worked fine after that. Of course, then I had a screwed up name showing up on the main page.
Thanks, Larry Barber

Well, when you can, why don't you try removing the directive. As I said, we don't have a problem and we have about 1/3 of our monitored hosts with using NAME.
cheers

As far as I know it doesn't matter where the NAME directive is on the line. I suspect that if you removed the name directive then everything would work OK.
Thanks, Larry Barber

1.2.3.4 fully.qualified.domain.name # yadda yadda yadda NAME:display_name
The trends page uses "display_name" when you ask it to generate custom length graphs. You can hack the URL and replace the display name with the real name (fully.qualified.display.name above) and everything works fine.
Thanks, Larry Barber
So you are saying the graph doesn't display? We use this feature a lot and don't have a problem seeing the graphs. If you remove the NAME entry, does it work? Does the problem only happen when the NAME thing is at the end of the line?
