We run our Xymon server as a VM, and have for many years with no problems. It has the added bonus of doing Snapshots and full Vm backups when updates or changes need done.
Thanks, Kris Springer

For the past 20 years, we've run our Xymon/Hobbit/Big Brother server on a host independent of the majority of our infrastructure. I'm now considering installing at least one of our servers (probably with CentOS) on vmWare ESX.
Has anyone experienced difficulty with this?
I'm currently wondering about the interaction of xymonnet with the virtual NIC.
