I've been getting an error with Xymon since I edited the host page last, and for the life of me I cannot figure out why. Error is as follows:

-> Recipient 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xx', timeout 15 -> 1st line: 'config hosts.cfg' Cannot load hosts.cfg from xymond, code 7 Failed to load from xymond, reverting to file-load Whoops! Failed to send a message (timeout)

And this repeats for a while in /alert.log. As a result, my xymon page is currently saying it is still... Fri Jun 17 07:35:35 2016. I would like to avoid posting my actual hosts.cfg page, but if it comes to that I will do so. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've compared my hosts.cfg file to others I can find, and I don't see any reason why there should be errors.

Thanks,

Hi,

This message is generated by the various worker processes if they can't retrieve the config from the xymond process. If you're seeing this with alert.log *and* your pages aren't updated (xymongen does the same thing), then there's a problem with xymond itself (or you're very heavily loaded).

Check xymond.log for issues (and/or xymonlaunch.log) and see if you can hit it locally using the 'xymon' command line tool (typically something like: xymon localhost:1984 xymondboard or xymon 127.0.0.1:1984 "config hosts.cfg")

If nothing else is shown in the error logs, restarting xymond should fix it, and/or indicate what's going on if it's failing.
