I changed a test to be carried out with the loopback IP and now the agent reports msgs twice under different hostnames. Excerpts: Before: DESCR features=unix,linux,local localhost localhost(n9) cpuload disk memory syslog localhost(n9) smtp After: DESCR features=unix,linux,local localhost DESCR features=unix,linux,local 127.0.0.1 localhost(n9) cpuload disk memory syslog 127.0.0.1(n9) smtp The reason for the change was that the smtp test wasn't carried out against localhost (=127.0.0.1) but against the external IP no. and this sometimes took long enough to trigger the yellow warning (because SMTP behaves different to foreign servers). I was surprised I had to do this since I had expected that localhost will run the network tests against 127.0.0.1, anyway. Well, after this change I now get two reports for msgs. 1. n9.msgs reports messages and syslog 2. news.msgs reports syslog news is the internal hostname (uname) of this machine because of a software on it that is licensed for this name. So, it is clear where it comes from. However, uxmon is clearly ordered to report under "n9" and there is only one syslog command. There is no syslog command for 127.0.0.1. So, why does it report twice?
