ungleich GmbH 2021 7.0.0 Sep 11, 2024 CDIST-TYPE__XYMON_SERVER(7)

This cdist type installs a Xymon (https://www.xymon.com/) server and (optional) required helper packages. This includes the Xymon client as a dependency, so NO NEED to install __xymon_client separately. To access the webinterface a webserver is required. The cdist-type __xymon_apache can be used to install and configure the apache webserver for the use with Xymon. Further and day-to-day configuration of Xymon can either be done manually in /etc/xymon/ or the directory can be deployed and managed by __xymon_config.
