[Xymon] Whoops ! Failed to load current Xymon status, (Cannot resolve hostname)

[Jerry Shenk]

I'm installing a new Xymon system on Ubunto 24 LTS.  Things seem like they
are running but, the only host any "dots" is the xymon host itself.  When I
add other hosts to the hosts.cfg file, they show up but only have a dash
instead of the green, yellow, or red dot.

If I tail /var/log/xymon/xymongen.log, I get the following error repeatedly.

2024-06-11 14:10:42.740606 Whoops ! Failed to send message (Cannot resolve

I'm not sure how relevant this is but, I've used bb to connect to both
local host (127.0.0.1) and the actual IP address and if I pass hostinfo
option, I get a list of hosts the same as the web site shows.  If I pass
the option config (/usr/lib/xymon/server/bb 127.0.0.1 'config') there is a
15 second delay and then a "Whoops ! Failed to send message (timeout)"
error.
