Sam, I imagine this has already been well answered for you, but the host names you see are the result of a reverse DNS lookup on the headnode, or whatever node you get the XML from. You will get IP addresses if the reverse lookup failed, although the failure is at the headnode level - not from the server (gmetad), and not from the monitored host itself.
Try nslookup on the various servers in question. Also note that if any or your nodes is in a cluster (UNIX/windows type, not an HPC cluster), then care need to be taken regards, Richard Grevis Infrastructure Architecture Barclays Capital, Canary Wharf, London, E14 4BB > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Sam Guido > Sent: 13 November 2006 18:19 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Ganglia-general] Server showing up as IP instead of DNS name > > > One of our servers is showing up on the Ganglia web page > under it's IP > address instead of it's DNS name.
