I think there may be confusion about the word "configure" - the configure script you mention below is the /build/ script. In a "normal" Xymon install you would build one server system and your other systems would be clients.
The terms "client-side" or "server-side" determine where the configuration for normal running is held. You are asked this while the build script is running, however as has been noted else-thread you can change this after installation.
Hope that helps with understanding.

Thanks Tim,
Not making excuses, but I've only heard about xymon for a couple days, the documentation isn't very clear, so I apologize for any frustrating questions. Your explanation is pretty good... so let me understand this:
[root at vipservd xymon-4.3.12]# ls
build configure CREDITS include README.CLIENT xymond
Changes configure.client debian lib RELEASENOTES xymongen
client configure.server demotool Makefile rpm xymonnet
common COPYING docs README web xymonproxy
"configure" is this local? Or do you have to specify "./configure --server" or "./configure --client" or "./configure""configure.server" allows for client configurations as well as server configuration all on one machine"configure.client" this does not work very well
I did "./configure --server" on two machines. I see now that I only needed it on one machine and one machine only. All I need to do is update hosts.cfg, alerts.cfg, etc...
Right?
