<p>I recently followed this work-in-progress to set up a Xymon server on Centos 7 for a pro bono client.</p>
<p><a href="https://centos.jordy.eu/centos-test/">https://centos.jordy.eu/centos-test/</a></p>
<p>It's about 98% complete/accurate. This installation is compliant with the general principles of package management in Centos/Red Hat.</p>
