Sure, here is what my Rocky Linux 9 server has. I have 2 servers. I don't have a /etc/default/xymonlaunch file, but do have /etc/sysconfig/xymonlaunch and /etc/sysconfig/xymon-client files.
Tom
$ cat /etc/sysconfig/xymonlaunch
Configure xymonlaunch(8) runtime settings here. All other options,
and flags for other daemons, should be set in the tasks.cfg(5) file.
The destination for the local client's report is set in
/etc/sysconfig/xymon-client
On systemd systems, --no-daemon is handled in the unit file,
but the log destination should be set here or output will be sent
to syslog. On SysV init systems, xymonlaunch output will be devnulled
if this is unset.
XYMONHOME="/home/xymon/server" export XYMONHOME XYMONLAUNCHOPTS="--log=/var/log/xymon/xymonlaunch.log"
$ cat /etc/sysconfig/xymon-client
Configure the Xymon client settings.
You MUST set the list of Xymon servers that this
client reports to.
It is good to use IP-addresses here instead of DNS
names - DNS might not work if there's a problem.
E.g. (a single Xymon server)
XYMONSERVERS="192.168.1.1"
or (multiple servers)
XYMONSERVERS="10.0.0.1 192.168.1.1"
XYMONSERVERS="192.168.1.35 192.168.1.36"
The defaults usually suffice for the rest of this file,
but you can tweak the hostname that the client reports
data with.
CLIENTHOSTNAME=""
Red Hat EL version 3 uses a different vmstat layout
than all other Linux versions. So for a client running this
particular OS, set CLIENTOS as below.
Do NOT set this on any other Red Hat version.
CLIENTOS="rhel3"

Can I see a copy of the contents of one or both of those EnvironmentFiles?
I'm dealing with a very similar issue and it seems to be related to the environment variables not being populated and things that depend on them failing.
E.g. using a full path in place of $XYMONCLIENTHOME in clientlaunch.cfg helps.
