Having an odd problem that I’m having trouble tracking down on an RHEL5.11 machine. The symptom is that the client shows with the real hostname, which is one I don’t want displaying on the Xymon website and, even though I’ve changed the name in the client, my one external script that uses $MACHINE/$MACHINEDOTS is sending as the actual server name. I define $CLIENTHOSTNAME in /etc/sysconfig/xymon-client, which is looped in by an include at the top of /etc/xymon/xymonclient.cfg. I see in /usr/libexec/xymon-client/xymonclient.sh that if $CLIENTHOSTNAME exists, $MACHINE/$MACHINEDOTS ought to make use of it. However, $MACHINE/$MACHINEDOTS are still my real hostname.
Any suggestions? I don’t really understand how this could be happening.
