[Xymon] Is SNMP a solution

[Jeremy Laidman]

I don't think SNMP can be used to monitor log files. At least I can't think
of a way to do ir without using a script.

If you can SSH from another server that can run the xymon client, then you
could setup a reverse tunnel for syslog-over-tcp, and then your task
becomes monitoring the logs on the other server.
