Here is the info you asked (only one line): [root at island-vm hist]# more /home/xymon/data/hist/BOOMIAPP01.conn Mon Feb 24 16:12:55 2014 clear 1393276375
As I click the white icon named "conn" for server BOOMIAPP01, I see the following message (same error for all my servers monitored):
Mon Feb 24 21:18:57 2014 conn ok : System failure of the ping test
Service conn on BOOMITEST01 is OK Xymon system error
However, if I manually run ping or fping, both results are good (also, same result for all my servers monitored):
[root at island-vm hist]# ping BOOMIAPP01 PING boomiapp01 (172.33.1.39) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from boomiapp01 (172.33.1.39): icmp_seq=1 ttl=126 time=0.000 ms 64 bytes from boomiapp01 (172.33.1.39): icmp_seq=2 ttl=126 time=0.906 ms ^C --- boomiapp01 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1611ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.000/0.453/0.906/0.453 ms [root at island-vm hist]# fping BOOMIAPP01 BOOMIAPP01 is alive

Sorry for the confusion. My fingers auto-corrected as they typed. I don't understand why you are making any changes to /etc/hosts ... especially after seeing your hosts.cfg If you have embedded short hostnames and ip addresses in hosts.cfg, there is no need to dual-enter the same information in /etc/hosts
Does your xymon behave any better if your hosts.cfg looks like:
We are not going to use FQDNs or DNS. Use testip instead.
0.0.0.0 .default. # testip 127.0.0.1 localhost # bbd http://localhost/ 10.1.2.159 island-vm # bbd http://localhost/
group-compress is a hold-over from BB. 'group' does the same thing.
group Boomi 172.33.1.39 BOOMIAPP01 # ssh ntp http://172.33.1.39:28080/connect/Interchange.html 172.33.1.38 BOOMITEST01 # ssh ntp 172.33.1.81 RAMPDEV # ssh ntp
Is there anything in ~/data/hist/BOOMIAPP01.conn ?
If you insert --debug on the xymonnet line in tasks.cfg, does anything interesting appear in the log file (named in that section)?
