Is SNMP a solution

I don't think SNMP can be used to monitor log files. At least I can't think
of a way to do ir without using a script.

If you can SSH from another server that can run the xymon client, then you
could setup a reverse tunnel for syslog-over-tcp, and then your task
becomes monitoring the logs on the other server.

It would be nice to use 'xymon-rclient.sh' on the '192.168.1.51' node
which is not exposed on the Internet. I wanted 'xymon-rclient.sh' to
monitor log files and alert if there is a problem.

But I just found out that I can't even use ssh scripts because of
compliance. Would SNMP be a good solution if I can't use ssh scripts?

If i understand you correctly, there is no direct path between the
sister server, on .51, and your monitor station.  That would seem, on the
surface, to make use of SNMP and the
devmon add in for xymon very difficult.

Personally, I'd add a custom ext to the server you DO have access to,
which will ping/test connectivity to your second server, and then report
the results back along with the rest of the results.

Or, did you want to run a client on the second machine?
