Depending on the extent of the security requirements 'ssh-tunnel' may be
an alternative.
Various methods of tunnelling Xymon are documented here:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Xymon/Administration_Guide#Encryption_and_Tunnelling
For example, add the following to tasks.cfg:
[xymon-over-ssh]
ENVFILE /usr/lib/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
CMD ssh -R1984:127.0.0.1:1984 -o batchmode=yes xymon at xymon-client
'/usr/lib/xymon/client/bin/xymoncmd sh -c "XYMSRV=127.0.0.1
/usr/lib/xymon/client/bin/xymonclient.sh"'
LOGFILE $XYMONERVERLOGS/xymon-over-ssh.log
INTERVAL 5m
This requires no additional software. As long as the xymon user can ssh to
the remote xymon client machine using key authentication, and as long as
the xymon client is installed in the expected location, it should work as
expected.
