Same hostname too I presume?  On gmetad, your hosts show up with
hostnames, correct?

What I would test is telnet (or nc) from master to _another_ host and
make sure that it has metrics from the "new" host.

Are you using multicast (default) or unicast?

Just FYI, the recommended combination should be:

1) stop gmetad
2) stop all gmond
3) start all gmond
4) start gmetad

You shouldn't have to.  Curious if there are any errors in your httpd
logs?  Also, I assume you're not having time synchronization issues?

Cheers,
