It'd be good to have this feature working.
In the mean time, you could use "FILE" (in analysis.cfg) to check for the
existence of a file, and use a backtick command (in client-local.cfg) to
specify the filename only if it's a symlink. Example:
analysis.cfg:
FILE /etc/.sudoers.local red
client-local.cfg:
file:`find /etc/.sudoers.local -type l`
If the file is a symlink, it will exist. If it's not a symlink, the Xymon
client won't see it, and you'll get a RED as if it didn't exist.
Cheers

Is checking whether a file is symlink supported in analysis.cfg? The
man page doesn't mention it but client_config.c does look like it
should work.
I have this in analysis.cfg
FILE /etc/.sudoers.local red type=symlink
My test goes red with the following statement:
File is a file - should be symlink
If I click on it, I see this:
[file:/etc/.sudoers.local]
type:100000 (file, symlink -> /bw/local/etc/.sudoers.local)
mode:440 (-r--r-----)
linkcount:1
owner:0 (root)
group:0 (root)
size:102
clock:1435770054 (2015/07/01-17:00:54)

mtime:1377011564 (2013/08/20-15:12:44)
To prove it's a symlink:
# ls -l /etc/.sudoers.local
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Aug 2 2011
/etc/.sudoers.local -> /bw/local/etc/.sudoers.local
What am I doing wrong?
I believe this is a bug. Might never have really been fully implemented,
actually.
Can you try the following patch (untested) and see if it works for you?
