    How to change the zabbix server name

    When deploying the virtual appliance of Zabbix v1.8 it created the host name automatically. I would like to change the server name and have it not break the web frontend and other components. How is this done? I know I could always add a A record to my local DNS servers to resolve the name the install came with, however, I would like to give it my own name to meet my naming standards. I'm a Linux rooking so please explain the path/file name of the config files that I need to change.

    Thanks.

    I found a post on this... My bad.. Just run the 'yast' command at the console and put in the hostname and domain. Make sure to have your 'A' record on your local DNS server created first. I was scared the 'yast' command would break the web frontend but it did now.. I also rebooted the server after making the change.
