hostname change on Xymon server

19 Feb 2019

      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.

Betreff: [Xymon] hostname change on Xymon server
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...

Kim Johansen
