Hi Buchan, I guess what you say makes sense. I only get the "default" xymon page.
Now you say I have to put in the tests in bb-hosts, but how is this done?
Devmon must send it a status report, for which devmon needs to be running (nothing else is required by default).

So, devmon has discovered them, good.
Nothing omes up, I need to use the vv, and this comes up:

Ok, but have you actually started devmon ? As in (in your case). Running it with --readbbhosts doesn't start devmon, it just updates the hosts.db file ...
$ ./devmon
or
$ ./devmon -vv
BTW, there are RPMS of xymon and devmon for RHEL/Centos, which have init scripts and everyhing ....
If devmon is running, it should be logging to it's log file (even with no verbosity, it logs that it starting (IIRC).
