Devmon must send it a status report, for which devmon needs to be running 
(nothing else is required by default).

So, devmon has discovered them, good.

Ok, but have you actually started devmon ? As in (in your case). Running it 
with --readbbhosts doesn't start devmon, it just updates the hosts.db file ...

$ ./devmon

or

$ ./devmon -vv

BTW, there are RPMS of xymon and devmon for RHEL/Centos, which have init 
scripts and everyhing ....

If devmon is running, it should be logging to it's log file (even with no 
verbosity, it logs that it starting (IIRC).
