Hi
Sorry for the confusion. I was trying to say that xymond does not load the hosts.cfg file instead of it doesn't update hosts.cfg.
Yes this IP is my xymon server. I can telnet and ssh to the server from terminal with no problems. For some strange reason the xymon main page does not get updated anymore. I have manually added a few more hosts in 'hosts.cfg' but they don't show up.
Also I have checked that
- xymon.sh is running
- SELINUX was disabled but iptables was not, so I have now turned iptables off as well but the problem persists. :(
I really don't know what is happening. If you have anymore suggestions please let me know.
Many thanks Yanni

2 days ago I updated xymon to the latest version:4.3.10 and for some reason unknown to me xymond stopped updating the hosts.cfg file. Please see xymongen.log below: 2012-10-10 16:53:58 -> Recipient '193.61.54.144', timeout 15What is this server? If this is your Xymon server, then what we have here is a failure to communicate. Given that there was a timeout (rather than a rejected connection) I suspect a firewall or packet filter is dropping the packets, or perhaps a routing problem. Try to telnet to this IP address from your Xymon server, and if that doesn't work, you know it's unlikely to be a Xymon problem.
Aside from that, I'm confused. Why would Xymon modify the hosts.cfg file? Isn't that supposed to be edited by a human?
