[Xymon] XYMON Pre requisites

[Zahirul Alam]

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

# 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...
