Does this help:

$ $XYMON $XYMSRV 'hostinfo host=^hostname'
hostname.example.com
|192.168.67.101|testip|delayred=dns:15,conn:15|delayyellow=dns:10,conn:10|dns=SOA:
example.com|TRENDS:*,vmstat:vmstat\pvmstat3


>From the "xymon" man page:

       hostinfo [CRITERIA]
              Retrieves the current configuration of a  host  (i.e.
              the  hosts.cfg(5) definition). CRITERIA selects which
              host(s) to report, and is identical to  the  CRITERIA
              in the xymondboard command.

              The  response  is one line for each host that matches
              the CRITERIA, or all hosts if no criteria  is  speci-
              fied.  The  line  is  composed of a number of fields,
              separated by a pipe-sign. The first two  fields  will
              always  be  the  hostname  and  the  IP-address.  The
              remaining fields - if any - are the hosts.cfg tags in
              no particular order.

I like this one because a client can query its own configuration remotely,
or the test and configuration functions of the Xymon server can
(potentially) be distributed.
