Yep, this should be parseable by Xymon.  In principle.

Xymon will parse the [ifstat] data from a Windows machine, if it's in a
suitable format.  From the source code, the regexp for this is:

        ^([a-zA-Z0-9.:]+)\s+([0-9]+)\s+([0-9]+)

I note that in the first [ifstat] line above, there's a percentage sign in
the first token, which doesn't match the regexp.  I don't know of Xymon
continues on looking for other lines to match, or if it rejects the whole
[ifstat] section as corrupt.  But I wonder what would happen if the IPv6
address wasn't in the [ifstat] client data.  Any chance you can unbind IPv6
for testing?

Another thing to note is that some of the "powershell" processing in Xymon
just re-uses the "bbwin" processing.  But there are some bits of parsing
code, including for "ifstat" it seems, that only look for the bbwin OS
string, and I can't see any place in the powershell handling code that
tries to fake the bbwin OS for ifstat.  In other words, could be that the
code simply isn't there to do what you want.  But it might also be the case
that adjusting the powershell client to report itself as the bbwin client
might do the trick.
