Two of the machines that I want to monitor use DHCP to obtain their IP addresses. Is there a way to specify this in the localhost.cfg file when defining the machine.

define host{
use linux-server
host_name Linux02
alias Linux02 server
address 192.168.4.115 ; obtained via DHCP - would like to use linux02.wegemer.ca.
}

I do have a DNS server which will resolve linux02.wegemer.ca. to the correct IP address but this does not seem to work.

Thanks

I have resolved the issue. The problem was the period following wegemer.ca

I removed the period and everything is working fine.
