I got around to adding some migration support to xymon in the Mandriva
packages, and it seems to work adequately for a relatively simple setup. So, I
have (as usual) rebuilt the packages for RHEL/Centos.

For now, they are in a separate repo, e.g.:

http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/rhel5/xymon/
http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/rhel4/xymon/
http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/rhel3/xymon/

SRPM is here:
http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/SRPMS/xymon/xymon-4.2.3-1.rhel5.src.rpm

Please note that you may see a message about files being save as .rpmsave, you
should copy those back before starting xymon after the upgrade.

Also note that any extension scripts may not be migrated correctly (it's
better to package them as well :-)).

If you do upgrade from Hobbit to Xymon with these packages, please let me know
of anything else that did not work correctly.

If I get sufficient feedback, I will eventually move these packages to the
hobbit repo (or, make them have the same content).

P.S. I am taking a few days of paternity leave starting now ... but I will try
and answer mail

This is a by-product of me re-using the Mandriva source RPM (as I do for a lot of other packages), and relying on some Mandriva macros.

.. i know, a simple rpm-question :-(

Grab this file, and drop it in /etc/rpm :

http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/SRPMS/openldap/macros.mdk4rh

I'll add an error message to this effect (as I did on the OpenLDAP packages) on the next packages.

Hi,

Thanks for your efforts, really appreciated. I did a fresh install of the el5 i386 rpm, but there are no index files placed in /var/lib/xymon/www, just a few dirs. Browsing to http://ip_of_server/xymon results in displaying the dir's content. How do I fix this?

Start xymon, and it should generate the index files within the first two
