yes, it's a new installation and that is exactly what it sounds like. The error says "Cannot determine IP address of message recipient (127.0.0.1)". How can that be?....that's the localhost and, that's the only xymon computer. I can ping 127.0.0.1 and connect to port 1984 and, I can even connect using bb and pull hostinfo (/usr/lib/xymon/server/bb --debug 10.100.10.219 hostinfo). That command also works using 127.0.0.1 and ma-mrtgmon (the name of the xymon server).

Sounds like your client is trying to send it to a name that it can not resolve.

I'm installing a new Xymon system on Ubunto 24 LTS. Things seem like they are running but, the only host any "dots" is the xymon host itself. When I add other hosts to the hosts.cfg file, they show up but only have a dash instead of the green, yellow, or red dot.
If I tail /var/log/xymon/xymongen.log, I get the following error repeatedly.

I'm not sure how relevant this is but, I've used bb to connect to both local host (127.0.0.1) and the actual IP address and if I pass hostinfo option, I get a list of hosts the same as the web site shows. If I pass the option config (/usr/lib/xymon/server/bb 127.0.0.1 'config') there is a 15 second delay and then a "Whoops ! Failed to send message (timeout)" error.
