How about if you use the built-in "info" button in Xymon? Look at the HOSTS.CFG manpages, specifically:<br>
<br>
DESCR:Hosttype:Description<br>
Define some informational text about the host. The "Hosttype" is a text describing the type of this device - "router", "switch", "hub", "server" etc. The "Description" is an informational text that will be shown on the "Info" column page; this can e.g. be used
to store information about the physical location of the device, contact persons etc. If the text contain whitespace, you must enclose it in double-quotes, e.g. DESCR:"switch:4th floor Marketing switch"<br>
<br>
You may add html code to the DESCR field, and your browser will make it "clickable".
<br>
<br>
I think you're wanting something like the following:<br>
<br>
(hosts.cfg)<br>
192.168.1.24 servername.co.com # DESCR:"Web Server:description <a href=ssh:192.168.1.24>ssh</a>"<br>
<br>
The above entry inside hosts.cfg would add a link of ssh:192.168.1.24 to the "info" button associated with that host in Xymon.<br>
<br>
I hope this is clear; good luck!<br>
