[Xymon] serverside tests using data from multiple clients?

[Elizabeth Schwartz]

Here's our situation.

We've got some things we want to watch multiple servers, that will
come through as a name-value pair (once we write the local test)

So on server one I might have
   foo-23
   bar-25
and on server two I might have
  bar- 17
  baz 3

We want to to do some tests that would involve adding and correlating
all this information. There can be *many* possible names, not just
three

What's the most xymon-like way to do it? Can I send data through
client tests that is *read* by server-side tests ? (I vaguely remember
there was a way to do it but searching is not workign for me today).

One way to do it is to make a log file for each client, rsync the logs
to a common location , and then run a single custom test on that
location, but that strikes me as beign a bit "outside the box". I want
to work within xymon whenever possible, and having individual client
tests and the combo test accessible from the xymon interface would b e
nice.

thanks for any thoughts or clues
