Thanks Christian that was the problem, I didn't think about that, because doing the configure I entered the hostname.

Hello, just to make sure - did you also reflect your changes in xymonserver.cfg?? I remember that if one recompiles an existing Xymon server config without deleting the target directory, I think it could keep old config files - but I'm not sure by hundred percent.

But Xymon server do seem to still use the old hostname: The old name was "mail1":
- I get ghost report: "127.0.0.1 mail1 mail 0:38", I have shutdown Xymon client, to isolate that it is coming from the Xymon server.
- the link in alert mails is "http://mail1/xymon-cgi...."
- A "ps" is showing: "sh -c vmstat 300 2 1>/home/xymon/client/tmp/xymon_vmstat.mail1.7997 2>&1; mv /home/xymon/client/tmp/xymon_vmstat.mail1.7997 /home/xymon/client/tmp/xymon_vmstat.mail1" Here is what I have done:
- Used hostnamectl to change hostname, but have also being over /etc/hostname and hosts.
- Changed the host in hosts.cfg in Xymon server.
- Used the 'xymon 127.0.0.1 "rename OLDHOSTNAME NEWHOSTNAME"'
- I have deleted the old make file and run make clean, and configured, build, and installed all over again.
- I have search for mail1 string in Xymon folder, and found nothing. My gold is to have the right URL in the alert mails. But it is also annoying me what I have done wrong... Regards, Kim Johansen
