I wrote this guide a good long time ago, but should be very relative to what you need.

Greetings.
I was a Big Brother user many moons ago and contributed many modules including for a database, a "multi module" and hot plug-in modules. In recent years I have moved away from the monitoring role, but recently have been thrust back into it. I am looking at many packages, and I am leaning towards Xymon as I like the "at a glance" dashboard for many of the people who may look at it. I am using CentOS 7.1 for my OS, and fairly quickly got it working at a basic level.
The issue I am having is with data. I was going to deploy OpenNMS, but I noticed Xymon has graphing capabilities. One tool would be awesome. However, I am running into issues. I have tried installing all prerequisite RPM's, and even tried installing the packages via configure/make, but I just can't get xymon to find the graphing include files or libraries. I have done quite a few searches and nothing is really working for my case. I even used the --rddinclude DIR and -rrdlib DIR flags as it suggested with appropriate substitutions and pointing straight at it hasn't worked.
I would really appreciate some help here. Perhaps I installed the wrong base configuration (webserver, no GUI). I am pointing to YUM and can download any packages needed. If I can download via YUM that would be preferred, but if compiling myself works better I have no fear or issue doing that.
Once I get past this I am sure they will be happy with the tool and I can move forward installing agents, but my question concerning that can wait for another day.
Thanks.
