Let me save you a ton of work. Everything you need should be obtained from

I can get these numbers from the [top] client data, because top gets them
from sysctl system calls.  So the client-side really is really the easy
part.  Most of the work is in making changes to the Xymon server code - not
just because it's code, but also because it needs to be turned into a patch
and submitted for inclusion, vetted and approved by Henrik, then the new
code packaged up and installed onto Xymon servers.
