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"

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