add your test to the host in the bb-hosts or to the group-directive of
this host ..

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Xymon/Other_Docs/HOWTO#How_can_I_create_a_hobbit_client_custom_test_script.3F

e.g.

bb-hosts:

191.168.2.3 vpnserver.vpn.de # vpn

or

group-only conn cpu  vpn vpnserver
191.168.2.3 vpnserver.vpn.de #

How do i enable the clients to report on this column?

added a task of this test into the clientlaunch.cfg of the client

e.g.

[vpn]
    ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg
    CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/vpn.sh
    LOGFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/vpn.log
    INTERVAL 5m

Just send an update about the column.

write a plug-in that sends a report about it.

For example, I have the dnsload extention.  I added this
to /etc/hobbit/clientlaunch.cfg on my DNS servers:
[dnsload]
        ENVFILE  $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg
        CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/bbdl-stats.sh
        LOGFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/hobbitclient.log
        INTERVAL 5m

the bbdl-stats.sh file does a bunch of stuff and reports:

#
LINE="status $HOST.$TEST $COLOR `date` $MESSAGE"
# 
# Send message
$BB $BBDISP "$LINE"

Could someone help me on this please?

You can report any $TEST name you might want, and Xymon will happily
track it.

Thanks Martin,

The second part is pretty clear.
In the first part, i just tried that, but my server doesnt show this column
in the webpage.
is there anything else i need to do.
Tried to add in the columndoc.csv file, but no luck.

Sanu
