Hi, Could you please help me? I am trying to install xymon on red hat 7. I google the internet but can't find any support information. Unfortunately the direction for RH6 is not working :(
I stopped on this code
groupadd xymon useradd -g xymon -m xymon
yum install gcc make
wget http://fping.org/dist/fping-3.2.tar.gz tar zxf fping-3.2.tar.gz cd fping-3.2 ./configure make && make install cd ..
yum install pcre-devel openssl-devel openldap-devel rrdtool-devel cd xymon-4.3.10 <---------------- Stopped -bash: cd: xymon-4.3.10: No such file or directory ./configure -server make && make install
Could you please assist me?
Thank you
Konstantin

I'd suggest just installing via repo simply because it appears you're not very familiar with the OS at this point.
Run this: nano /etc/yum.repos.d/xymon.repo
Throw this text in there and save it:
Xymon RPMs provided by Japheth "J.C." Cleaver
Important notes:
This is NOT an official repo for xymon!
No warranty or support provided on these packages.
Original sources are at http://xymon.sourceforge.net/
These packages contain a fairly large number of alterations to the
original release,
some of which are or will soon be in the process of being incorporated
upstream.
Bug reports are appreciated, and these packages are in Production use,
but thorough testing is advised.

Then execute: yum -y update && yum -y install xymon

I think the instructions are missing a couple of steps. They should be something like this:
...
yum install pcre-devel openssl-devel openldap-devel rrdtool-devel
wget https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/xymon/Xymon/4.3.28/xymon-4.3.28.ta...
tar zxf xymon-4.3.28.tar.gz
cd xymon-4.3.28
./configure –server
make && make install
Also, this is for the latest version as of today, 4.3.28, rather than for the example provided in the directions, which was for v4.3.10. You would need to adjust the version number on these lines, to get a different (eg newer) version.
However, I would recommend installing an RPM package rather than building the source code. https://terabithia.org/rpms/xymon/

For the clients, the Xymon server can distribute update tarballs that get installed automatically. You have to pick between that and OS packaging (rpm, deb, whatever); using both would be chaos. One can make choices where to build that support different Linux distros; my tarball of binaries works fine on both CentOS 7 and Ubuntu Bionic, for example. But that's just for home, and that may not scale for enterprise use, esp. since the more distros and versions you try to support with a single tarball, the dicier it may get; not to mention that method of distribution doesn't ensure dependencies are validly satisfied (unless, I suppose, you build against static libraries for those).
Still, different situations make different choices workable.
