Oracle did the exact same thing to RHEL as CentOS did - grabbed the source, rebranded it by changing strings from "Redhat" to "Oracle", added a few proprietary bits (ksplice, etc) and built all the RPMs. It is essentially the exact same product. I dunno why a RHEL RPM wouldn't install, but you can certainly build from source following RHEL instructions.

I couldn't get the rpm to install on Oracle Linux but I was able to compile from source.

Will Xymon support the following Redhat Linux 7 Redhat Linux 8 Oracle Linux 7 Oracle Linux 8

At least there are RPMs for them on https://terabithia.org/rpms/xymon/

those for RHEL should also work on Oracle Linux as it is a derivative of it AFAIK.

            Kind regards, Axel
