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.

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)?
