Out of curiosity why would you bother to patch such an old version? Why not upgrade?

Subject: [Xymon] Applying Linux Memory Patch for rhel7 with kernel 3.10
Hello All,
I am trying to apply the following patch via the method below and I appear to be getting an error (patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.). I have not applied patches before so please excuse my lack of experience. My server is currently running Xymon version 4.3.19.
********************************************************************************************
Generally, quick-fix patches such as this one are applied like this:
cd xymon-4.3.4
patch -p0 </tmp/infocolumn-crash.diff
make clean
make
sudo make install
Since only the svcstatus.cgi binary is changed by the current patch,
copying that file over to ~xymon/server/bin/ is fine instead of running
"make install".
Regards,
Henrik

I am trying to fix the memory display explained in the following article that also supplies the patch -

Please assist and explain the steps needed to apply patches and/or if a file can simply be edited/replaced for this specific task.
Thanks,
Michael
