[Xymon] New to Xymon, looking for resources

[Galen Johnson]

You might want to start at xymon.com.  Look under the help dropdown menu.
Should also be on your Xymon server main page.  There are addition monitors
available at xymonton.org.  There are a couple of Windows clients bbwin
(which I'd suggest is deprecated in favor of the Power Shell client).

As for the Ubuntu tests, I suspect they installed the xymon client packages
from the Ubuntu repos.  IIRC, they include the 'apt' test as well as
others.

If you get stuck, this list is generally very helpful...although a bit
quiet of late.
