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)?
