You might want to take a look at Jeremy Laidman's excellent xymon-rclient
script:

Nothing needs installing on the client server, as long as you can shell
into it.

The data for the various graphs are extracted from the client data
message.  Once you get the client data delivered properly, the graphs
automagically appear.

Subject: creating custom graphs
I have some Solaris servers that I can't install the xymon binaries on so
I'm going to try writing my own scripts to replicate the default xymon
data.  I successfully tested sending messages directly to port 1984 from my
client to my xymon server, but I'm not clear on how data that is in graphs
is sent/generated.  For instance, if I wanted to generate a cpu graph, I
can send the cpu values but I'm not sure what I would then need to do in
order to generate the rrd graphs.  Can anyone point me toward any
documentation for this?

thanks,
EJ
