You mean DNS...

In
   /etc/NOCpulse.ini
replace
   name=xe
with something like
   name=xe at hostname:port
or
  name=database=xe;host=hostname;port=port

Beware - if you directly replace it in NOCpulse.ini, the content of the 
file is rewritten during monitoring restart with values, which are 
stored in DB in table  rhn_config_parameter. You probably want to modify 
  the values stored in db as well.
