Hello,
Since last Thuesday, we encourter false alarms on procs and disk tests. It seems as real alarms are attributed to a wrong hostname because in the attached data, we see that the xymon agent process is configured for an other hostname.
Cordialement, Regards,Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

On the client, do you have a file in /tmp (or $XYMONTMP) called "msg.<name-of-host>.txt"? Does the filename match the hostname? Does the contents show the correct hostname?
Jeremy,
Yes, all files in the tmp directory match the hostname of the machine. It seems as the mismatch is coming from the hobbitd on the server. The false alarm is coming up just one time then wanishes.

Is it possible you have two different hosts reporting under the same name? If your reports are coming in more frequently than every five minutes (check alert history) then you likely have two different machines reporting the same name.
Thanks, Larry Barber

Even better than that, check the history and check both the good and bad status messages, and make sure at the bottom that they are coming from the same IP address.

Larry,
Sorry Larry, but it's not. What's curious is that raw data are correctly registered (rrd, data history ...) but alarms .
