Xymon conn icon shows white, rather than green
I recently setup a Xymon server. After turn on, the web page all the "conn" item shows white, rather than green:
(I only put contents on hosts.cfg and /etc/hosts files, not going deep into any other configuration yet).
When I use fping, it shows the server is alive:
[root at island-vm etc]# fping BOOMIAPP01
BOOMIAPP01 is alive
Where is the configuration file to control it?

Why are you putting anything in /etc/hosts.cfg ?
When I use fping, it shows the server is alive:
[root at island-vm etc]# *fping BOOMIAPP01*

hosts.cfg
Can you post a sippet of your hosts.cfg for us to look at? (Please post it as text in your reply.)

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:

Just curious but is fping setuid root? You're running the command as root but xymon should be running as the xymon user.

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)?

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.

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.
