Public bug reported:

Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Release:        16.04

xymon:
  Installed: 4.3.25-1
  Candidate: 4.3.25-1
  Version table:
 *** 4.3.25-1 500
        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

If you select the Web UI menu item Administration/Edit Critical Systems
https://<xymon host>/xymon-seccgi/criticaleditor.sh
you get a 500 error from apache and the Apache error log shows

[...] Disallowed request due to unexpected referer '<xymon host>/xymon/', 
wanted '<xymon host>/xymon-seccgi/criticaleditor' (originally 
'/xymon-seccgi/criticaleditor')
[...] [client x.w.y.z:50417] AH00124: Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal 
redirects due to probable configuration error.  

This and some other bugs that are fixed upstream make significant parts
of xymon unusable on the LTS version but according to the Changes file
are fixed in the latest version (which is in zesty and artful). It would
obviously be preferable to users to get the xymon web interface working
on the current LTS rather than wait for bionic or move to non-LTS for
this kind of service.  Might be a good candidate for a snappy solution
though...
