The fastest way by far is to use the terabithia repos and then just
modify the /etc/sysconfig/xymon-client file to point to your xymon
server. (bash script it all up to add the repo, install the client,
modify the config file, start and enable the service and you're
golden)<br>

<p>I normally compile and install the client on one host, make a
tar file of the installed directories and then just copy and
"restore" it on other hosts (with tweaks to config files, as
necessary). Using centralised client configuation simplifies
this, of course. At least on SUSE Linux, tar seems to handle UID
changes - where the xymon user has different UIDs on different
hosts. <br>

<div>Hi.<br>
<br>
</div>
Thanks to everyone yesterday. The quick response got
my graphing up and running. I would be happy to
document the CentOS 7.x install session when I do
the official build and provide it for the wiki if
anyone is interested. There are some minor
differences with firewall commands and using
services instead of the old initd vs. CentOS 6.x. <br>
<br>
Now I have 2 new questions - in the more general
vein:<br>
<br>
</div>
1) is there a bundle for the xymon client such that
you don't have to build on every server you install
on? The reason I ask is that most of our servers are
barebones in production (only what is absolutely
required). Mix of RHEL and AIX. Worst case I would
bundle the directory which I made the client in
between servers and do a "make install", but only as a
last resort.<br>
<br>
</div>
2) There are a couple administration add-ons for xymon.
Would like advice if any are worth installing in your
opinions.<br>
<br>
</div>
look forward to the feedback.<br>
<br>
