Looking for Xymon clients for Solaris 🔗 link

I am looking to now tackle the Solaris systems, does anyone have either
a HowTo or a compiled Solaris client for Sparc and x86?

I am running 4.3.0-0.beta2 Xymon server and have the compiled client
running on multiple CentOS systems.

The Xymon server is on a CentOS server.       

 
Is there a good tutorial/HowTo that shows how to just compile a client
or do you take the entire portion of the source tree and do a 'make' and
'make install', etc. ?

 
I do not want to download the entire Xymon system and compile it unless
I have to.

A little guidance would be greatly appreciated J

 
                Solaris 11 (Sparc, X86)

                Solaris 10 (Sparc, X86)

                Solaris 9 (Sparc)

                Solaris 8 (Sparc)

 
Thanks,

I may be misreading what you wrote, but if you're saying that you have
compiled the client on CentOS, it's really no different. The README in
the source code is straightforward, and it is little more than
configure, make, make install like anything else (there's an option to
do just the client in configure).

It's possible to run the client with no compilation at all...  You need:

1) a script to replace the xymon binary.  I use curl, for encrypted
delivery over https, but you could probably use netcat if that comes with
Solaris.  To use http/https you'll need to go to your xymon server and copy
$XYMONHOME/server/bin/xymoncgimsg.cgi over to your xymon cgi-bin directory.

2) a script to replace the logfetch binary.  The client script uses it to
pick up epoch, local & UTC timestamps.  I'm not using logfetch for anything
else, such as picking up logs.

3) a script to replace the clientupdate binary. I'm not doing client
updates through xymon, so mine just echoes a blank line.

4) edit the xymonclient.sh script to insert a couple of lines at the top
that set XYMONHOME and then source $XYMONHOME//etc/xymonclient.cfg

At that point you ought to be able to run xymonclient.sh and see the
standard reports show up on your server.  Then add a cron entry to fire up
the script at regular intervals.

I'm not necessarily recommending this lash-up for a large-scale production
environment.  I just had to get *something* running on a set of AIX systems
where there are limitations on what I can install.  A script-only solution
was more acceptable, and encrypted delivery is a requirement...

I compiled several versions on Solaris, there is a few trick that you need to know.
For the server compilation you need a bunch of SUN freeware packages, I just use the same host for a client package, probably less deps for client only.
On the client itself you need some of these installed as well.
Same procedure for x86.
If you use blastwave packages it is a bit different....

groupadd -g 1001 xymon
useradd -u 62001 -g 1001 -d /usr/local/xymon -m -s /usr/bin/bash -c "Xymon Owner" xymon
This is for rrdtool, some strange dep, maybe not necessary for client as it doesn't need rrdtool. ( this will force use of gnu ld)
mv /usr/ccs/bin/ld /usr/ccs/bin/ld.orig
