I've done something and now xymon always reports no events logged on the
"all none green" page , even though tests are failing and recovering as
recently as a few minute ago.

This might have started on the day I ran my first trimhistory command, but
can't be sure about that.

I can still see the history of events in /var/lib/xymon/histlogs

Any suggestions on how I might troubleshoot this issue?

I ran into something similar when I changed the ip address of the server and didn't update the ip address in the xymonserver.cfg...

Did you restart xymon after the trimhist?

Resolved this
Ownership of /var/lib/xymon/hist/allevents had been changed from xymon to
root.
I suspect trimhistory had been run as root at least once, but that is
unconfirmed
Changing ownership back to xymon resolved the issue
