Does anyone have an experience with using xymon to monitor remote sites?
How do you handle the security side of things? Can we use xymon with SSL
for example?
You can do various VPN type things, such as using stunnel or ssh tunnels
(with key auth).

Also, you can run the client from the server (eg from tasks.cfg) over an
ssh connection like so:

ssh -R1984:127.0.0.1:1984 -o batchmode=yes
xymon at remote-server'/usr/lib/xymon/client/bin/xymoncmd sh -c
"XYMSRV=127.0.0.1
/usr/lib/xymon/client/bin/xymonclient.sh"'
