Hi,

This message is generated by the various worker processes if they can't
retrieve the config from the xymond process. If you're seeing this with
alert.log *and* your pages aren't updated (xymongen does the same thing),
then there's a problem with xymond itself (or you're very heavily loaded).

Check xymond.log for issues (and/or xymonlaunch.log) and see if you can
hit it locally using the 'xymon' command line tool (typically something
like:
xymon localhost:1984 xymondboard
or
xymon 127.0.0.1:1984 "config hosts.cfg")

If nothing else is shown in the error logs, restarting xymond should fix
it, and/or indicate what's going on if it's failing.
