Buchan Mine,

Thanks a lot for the rpm and the repo. It worked perfect on my virtual centos release 5.5

I am wondering if you have a mirror repo as well, just in case.

Also is this still the best way to add the repo and install xymon ?

wget http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/Xymon.repo -O

/etc/yum.repos.d/Xymon.repo

yum install xymon devmon

Thanks again for sharing the rpms

Hello; I am new to Hobbit, its looks like a wonderful tool.  Can someone kindly suggest the best method for installing on a Fedora 12 system?

Firstly, I would wonder about the wisdom of using Fedora 12 for deployment of a monitoring system. If a production environment, you would probably be better off using CentOS or RHEL. If this is a "play" system, then you could install from source ....

 The site suggests an rpm, but I want to check with you all before I do anything.

A number of distributions ship Xymon packages. For example, I maintain Xymon and devmon in Mandriva. The Mandriva packages rebuild adequately on CentOS/RHEL, and should probably work on Fedora as well (if you load the compatibility macros).

A repo for CentOS5 / RHEL 5 is available here: http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/rhel5/xymon/

SRPMS are here: http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/SRPMS/xymon/

(or on any Mandriva mirror, and in Mandriva svn).

Regards, Buchan
