[Xymon] Terebithia RPM's vs Build.

[Neil Simmonds]

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me what the difference is for Xymon Server between compiling from source and installing the Terabithia RPM's?

Also, I noticed there seems to be at least rrd-devel packages that are outside of the main Repos for RHEL 8, are there any other considerations of that nature for RHEL 8.5?

I'm looking at building a new Xymon server as our current one is CentOS 5.6 and Xymon 4.3.4 so a bit ancient and very overdue a rebuild to more modern versions.

I'd like to build with RHEL 8.5 and Xymon 4.3.30 and I'd like to build using the Terebithia RPM's but I know I'm going to get questions from our Cyber team regarding the differences and any nonstandard Repo's I need so I'd like to be prepared with some answers.

Also, I'd just like to check that Xymon is still being developed? I notice 4.3.30 seems to be 2.5 years old and while I remember some talk about Version 5, I haven't seen any news on that yet.

Kind Regards,

Neil.
