[Xymon] Configuration report

I need to do a health check on all the servers we monitor and what thresholds/alerts are associated with it. However, the config report is quite huge due to the fact that the "procs" column apparently spits out the current process list of the machine.  Also, according to the manpage confreport.cgi doesn't include analysis.cfg data.  And this email from back in 2006 shows it hasn't been fixed.  Anyone have any ideas on how I may accomplish this task efficiently for 1000+ servers?
