What is the output of "hostname" on the clients?
That is the information that should be after the IP address.
Also, look in your ghost clients list under Reports...you'll see the proper name for the clients, there.

I have xymon clients with the weird name, i tried adding CLIENT:name as mentioned in http://lists.xymon.com/oldarchive/2005/07/msg00362.html, but still the new name is not appearing.
10.x.x.x diff-host-name-app01.example.com # noconn nofiles nobbd NOCOLUMNS:files CLASS:STG CLIENT:app01-stg
but the new hostname is not coming. I know we can use MACHINEDOTS but that i dont want because for ping test we use custom script which fails if hostname after 10.x.x.x is changes as per MACHINEDOTS variable.
