Or, Xymon needs to be told to use the IP address you have embedded in the hosts.cfg file. This is what the 'testip' directive does. By putting it as a .default. line (in the example) it applies to all subsequent lines. Alternatively, it could be added to each line.

Ssh needs a place to look up the machine. It either needs to be in /etc/hosts or DNS.

My test shows if I only put the hostname and ip address on ~xymon/server/etc/hosts.cfg, then "ssh" test will show red. Only after I put the same hostname and ip address on /etc/hosts, then the "ssh" icon will show green.

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)?
