Hi Ehtesham, I am no wizard. This is how I did my installation using Centos. You will get some key help from this. Others, feel free to rip me apart :)

Install CentOS 8 from ISO [install location] ISOs / CentOS-8.2.2004-x86_64-minimal.iso

Add IP details Find interface name

ifconfig

Change bootproto, ipaddr, netmask & gateway

nano /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ens192

Add DNS details

nano /etc/resolve.conf

Server Configuration: Add some yum repostitories:

nano /etc/yum.repos.d/xymon.repo

And add this to the file:

[Xymon] name=Xymon-$releasever baseurl=http://terabithia.org/rpms/xymon/el$releasever/x86_64/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://terabithia.org/rpms/RPM-GPG-KEY-JCLEAVER enabled=1

yum install epel-release.noarch -y

Next we can install xymon and:

yum install xymon.x86_64 xymon-client.x86_64 httpd -y

Edit the xymon configuration file and change the following lines: XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME="$MACHINEDOTS" # The hostname of your server. XYMONSERVERIP="127.0.0.1" # The IP-address of your server. Use the real one, not 127.0.0.1 . Example: cd /etc/xymon/xymonserver.cfg XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME="FQDN hostname" XYMONSERVERIP="x.x.x.x" Create a user for web access

htpasswd -c /etc/xymon/xymonpasswd [USERNAME]

htpasswd -c /etc/xymon/xymonpasswd xymonweb [pass xmonweb]

htpasswd -c /etc/xymon/xymonpasswd xymon [pass xymon]

htpasswd -c /etc/xymon/xymonpasswd apache [pass apache]

New password: Re-type new password: Adding password for user ... Add more users / change passwords with

htpasswd /etc/xymon/xymonpasswd [USERNAME]

Open the firewall ports for xymon and the webserver

firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=1984/tcp --permanent

firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=80/tcp --permanent

From <https://4matperu.wordpress.com/2016/10/01/install-xymon-on-centos-7/>

firewall-cmd --reload

From < https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-firewall-using-firewalld-on-centos-8>

Enable the service

systemctl enable xymonlaunch.service

Starting the services: On the server:

systemctl enable xymonlaunch.service

systemctl enable httpd.service

systemctl start xymon

Good Luck...
