I didn't put anything on /etc/hosts.cfg. When I said hosts.cfg, it is /home/xymon/server/etc/hosts.cfg.

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)?
