i have one doubt regarding data flow (communication) in case of xymon  in
the sense that  server-client architecture of xymon follows push or pull of
data ?
In case of xymon as how data flows from server to clients or clients to
server ? How the data of external ( extention/ custom scripts ) scripts is
available with server. How xymon handles all tests data? does it (server)
pulls all data from clients or clients sends their data to xymon? or there
is two way data flow?
By default, the clients push data to the Xymon server.

You can setup a pull-system, using the "hobbitfetch" and "msgcache" tools,
but the push-method scales better.
