[Xymon] XyMon client version

[Andrey Chervonets]

Some time ago somebody asked how to check XyMon client version.

Now I need to make revision what  installed in our "Zoo" and plan xymon 
clients upgrade.

Version can be easy detected at client side like with 
cmd:
         echo `hostname`:`./xymon  2>&1 | grep "version"`
out: 
        realhostname:Xymon version 4.3.5

so we just need to loop through all hosts and execute such call.

But this is quite inconvenient (most target hosts will not have 
passwordless ssh connection setup).

May be XyMon developers can implement new metric test  "xymonver" which, 
depending on settings will show in web UI:
a) just version of xymon client installed
b) red, yellow or green depending on how old version is instaled compared 
with 
        * xymon server version
        * or maximum version detected in all target servers

If this is too complex, may be add client version to "info" repost like 
this is done for OS?


Best regards,
