Newbie - help to install packages/configuration for server/client
list Rafiqul Ahsan
Hi, All I am new to this forum and also newbie to the monitoring. I just found out about Xymon and I was wondering if I can have installed a monitoring server in linux (debian squeez) and client in my PC (windows 7), and try some basic monitoring stuffs to start with. Could anyone please send me the link from where I can download Xymon packages and start install ? Is there any tutorials out there that I can follow for server, client installation, configuration and tests ? Thanks Raf

I am having an issue with running configure, where it complains about RRDtools. I already have RRDtools installed in /usr/bin and accordingly I have used the below options to configure. It does not seem to be working either. Can anyone please help ? Here are the logs : xymon-4.3.7$ <l at sysops-rafi:~/Downloads/xymon-4.3.7$> ./configure Configuration script for Xymon This script asks a few questions and builds a Makefile to compile Xymon Checking your make-utility Checking pre-requisites for building Xymon Checking for fping ... Xymon has a built-in ping utility (xymonping) However, it is not yet fully stable and therefore it may be best to use the external fping utility instead. I could not find fping on your system Do you want to use xymonping [Y/n] ? Y OK, I will use xymonping. Checking for RRDtool ... RRDtool include- or library-files not found. These are REQUIRED for Xymon RRDtool can be found at http://www.mrtg.org/rrdtool/ If you have RRDtool installed, use the "--rrdinclude DIR" and "--rrdlib DIR" options to configure to specify where they are. rafiqul at sysops-rafi:~/Downloads/xymon-4.3.7$ ./configure --rrdinclude /usr/bin --rrdlib /usr/lib rafiqul at sysops-rafi:~/Downloads/xymon-4.3.7$ ./configure "--rrdinclude=/usr/bin" "--rrdlib=/usr/lib" rafiqul at sysops-rafi:~/Downloads/xymon-4.3.7$ ./configure --rrdinclude=/usr/bin --rrdlib=/usr/lib

You need the dev package. I think on Debian it's something a bit different than what I'm familiar with (RHEL). Try apt-get install librrd-dev Josh Luthman Office: XXX-XXX-XXXX Direct: XXX-XXX-XXXX XXXX Wayne St Suite XXXX Troy, OH XXXXX
