mail ~ $ hostname -f mail.<domain>

mail ~ $ cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 194.255.97.27 mail.<domain> mail

The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts

::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

Only a couple of things come to mind. How did you change your hostname? What does 'hostname -f' return? What is in /etc/hosts?

Hi,

I have changed the name on my server hosting Xymon server, a Ubuntu 16.04. 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...
