I recently changed from the old BB software to Xymon and love it..

 
I am trying to do some customization and I can't find where the status logs
are stored.  Can someone point me in the right direction?

They are stored in the memory of the xymond process, not on disk (unless you enable the xymond_filestore backwards compatibility module, which I do not recommend since it kills performance of your Xymon server.

There are better ways of getting at the status-log data. If you could describe what it is You're trying to do, we'll be better able to point you in the right direction.

I had wondered if that was the case.

Ok what I was hoping to do was modify the data that devmon supplies to
Xymon.  I guess I will have to figure out the code of devmon now.  Basically
I want to add links to the interface names in the tables from devmon that
link to the graphs instead of having to find the graph on the page as some
of our devices have 50 plus graphs on one page.
