I have installed XYMon server successfully, **but I can't get the client information to show**. It took me a while to figure out, but if you add a host to the server that doesn't have the client, it still shows some things like conn/ssh/info, but nothing like cpu/disk/mem.
I have found it to be REALLY hard to find any good documentation, troubleshooting steps or anything. The installation of the client seems extremely simple.
On **Ubuntu 14.04** >>
apt-get install xymon-client
Only one question during installation
IP of XYMon-Server
But I can't get anything to show in the server!
The closest I have come to debugging is
On Server :
@xymon:/var/log/xymon$ cat alert.log
2016-07-20 21:31:52 -> Could not connect to Xymon daemon@xymon.freesoftwareservers.com:1984 (Connection refused)

**On Both Client & Server I found this Error :**
@xymon:/var/log/xymon$ cat xymonclient.log
No LSB modules are available. - Repeated for ever...
There was nothing more useful in client logs.
**Install XYMON Config :**
sudo apt-get install -y xymon
sudo cp /etc/apache2/conf.d/xymon /etc/apache2/conf-available/xymon.conf
sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/conf-available/xymon.conf /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/
sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/authz_groupfile.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/
sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/rewrite.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/
sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/cgi.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/
sudo ln -s /var/lib/xymon /var/www/html/xymon
sudo nano /etc/apache2/conf-available/xymon.conf
