Hi everyone,

I've been introducing a few AlmaLinux 9 hosts into my monitored network. I'm happy to share my build notes, so far, but specifically am wondering about "msgs" monitoring - it does not seem that journalctl is supported?

EL9 install notes below

COMPILING: EL9 (CLIENT ONLY)

1. yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools" yum install pcre-devel useradd xymon
2. cd /usr/src
3. ./configure --client DON'T FORGET TO PUT IN THE RIGHT SERVER IP!!
4. ./make
5. tar -zcf xymon.client.not.installed.el9.tgz
6. scp xymon.client.not.installed.el9.tgz root at monitor:/var/www/html/.

INSTALLING CREATED CLIENT

1. Verify the hostname matches xymon server config hostname # set as necessary: hostnamectl set-hostname $HOSTNAME

2. Run the following cd /usr/src # NOTE THE VERSION!! wget http://monitor.effortlessis.com/xymon.client.not.installed.elVERSION.tgz tar -zxvf xymon.client.not.installed.tgz useradd xymon yum install libtirpc libtirpc-devel yum groupinstall "Development Tools" (if needed) cd xymon-4.3.30 make install

3. Verify it works su - xymon xymon --debug # make sure it runs ok - WHAT DOES THIS DO?

4. yum groupremove "Development Tools" (if installed just for this)

./runclient.sh start # wait a few minutes

see it on the server:

http://monitor.effortlessis.com/xymon/

run xymon directly to see it works. As user xymon on client

Useful https://xymon.sourceforge.io/xymon/help/manpages/man1/xymon.1.html

4. Make it work via init. cp -av /root/repo/xymon/xymond /etc/rc.d/init.d/xymond4) ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/xymond /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99xymond; cd /etc/rc.d/init.d; chcon --reference=functions xymond systemctl enable xymond; systemctl start xymond;

4a) Make it work via systemctl ## not done yet

5. Common issues: A) /var/log/messages chown root.xymon /var/log/messages; chmod g+r /var/log/messages B) on xymon server, edit procs C) SELinux error on start xymond via systemctl ( ??? WTF IS THIS? )
