Hi Bruno, hi all.
I cloned main tree yesterday and compiled from source as I always used to do with xymon.
The box is a Slackware64-current, fping 5.5 and rrd 1.11.0 also compiled from source just before xymon.
The only issue I faced was running make install:
make[1]: ../build/convert-bbservices: Permission denied
That was due to convert-bbservices not being executable. I chmod-ed it an re-run make install and all was fine.
So far now xymon runs smoothly just as it did before. Then I recompiled with SNMP=1 env and got xymon-snmpcollect executable.
I'm planning to start basic SNMP monitoring without devmon on my home network with a few devices: openwrt switches and access points, pfsense firewall, slackware server (it runs xymon and file and media server).
I will let you know how xymon's snmp works in my environment.
I'm not sure if I could soon upgrade also the production server at work, running the 4.3.30 release. It would require a pretty big OS refresh first (also Slackware there) and I don't have so much time, since sysadmin is not my role anymore. We started playing with Grafana, but xymon still rocks!
See you soon !!!

Hi all,
Seven years after 4.3.30, a new Xymon is nearly ready, and it's a big one:
code tests docs
241 merged PRs +5,342 -1,546 +13,266 -2,092 6,497
9 still open +267 -104 +981 -5 157
Roughly five years of Xymon development, packed into less than one: the
biggest Xymon update since 4.3.0.
Help us get it over the line:
- Got time for just one review? Take #349 or #428: they're the ones
holding the release back.
- Review a 4.3.31 PR. Most of them just wait for a second look:
- Or go shopping in the other open PRs. Something for every taste, and
- Build it on your system.
- Run it next to your setup and tell us what changes.
Thanks!
Bruno
