You only need a client on hosts where you want to monitor things like disk,
memory, CPU and other "internal" states and metrics.  External states, such

Terabithia has a "xymon-client" package that you would install on a host
(unless it's the Xymon server, in which case you don't install xymon-client
because it's already included).

I'll read through some documentation now on how to add services I would

Hi

Yes, its the default one for fedora 22. I can browse to the host and
get the welcome page, http://host/xymon brings up an empty directory
listing with no files.

I've checked for the xymon.conf in the /etc/httpd/conf.d directory and
even tried uncommenting this line :-

I've installed xymon on fedora 22 using the terabithia.repo. The
installation completed without errors.
