[Xymon] Weird devmon issue with Terabithia RPM's

[Neil Simmonds]

Hi folks,

I'm currently building a new Xymon server and I'm going from Centos 5 running Xymon 4.3.4 to RHEL 8 running Xymon 4.3.30-1. I've also switched to using the Terabithia RPM's and I've gone from the old sourceforge Devmon to the new Github devmon. So all in all, quite a bit of change .

I've had to do quite a lot of changing of paths in config files and scripts due to the different layout when using Terabithia but I'm happy I've made all those changes correctly.

However, when trying to run devmon using "./devmon --readbbhosts -vvvvv" I'm getting an error of

[22-09-29 at 10:41:50] Unable to open file '/etc/xymon/hosts.cfg' (No such file or directory)
Exiting subroutine via next at /opt/devmon/modules/dm_config.pm line 1548 (#1)
    (W exiting) You are exiting a subroutine by unconventional means, such
    as a goto, or a loop control statement.

Label not found for "next FILEREAD" at /opt/devmon/modules/dm_config.pm line
        1548 (#2)
    (F) You named a loop to continue, but you're not currently in a loop of
    that name, not even if you count where you were called from.  See
    "last" in perlfunc.

Uncaught exception from user code:
        Label not found for "next FILEREAD" at /opt/devmon/modules/dm_config.pm line 1548.
        dm_config::read_hosts_cfg() called at /opt/devmon/modules/dm_config.pm line 575
        dm_config::initialize("0.22.06") called at ./devmon line 27

I've checked permissions on /etc/xymon/hosts.cfg and it's 666 (probably only needs to be 644 but I made it 666 to try and solve this)

The only thing I can think of is that I've only got 1 entry in the hosts.cfg file and that's an include for the /etc/xymon/hosts.d directory but that does seem to be being read by devmon as it lists all the checks it's doing before the error.  (EG "Checking if     # testip matches NET:." )

Has anyone seen this kind of error before and have any idea about how I might fix it?

Thanks,
Neil Simmonds.
