8.      clientless monitoring is possible (albeit limited, but you can
still make sure your website is up!)

Actually, it should be possible to cat (most of) the xymon client script
through ssh to a client system and feed the resulting client output to
xymon.  The *only* thing you need on the client side is a userid with ssh
keys from the xymon server.  I haven't actually tried that with xymon, but
it definitely worked with Big Brother back in the day.
