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 15
What 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?
