[Xymon] How to retrieve the global state of Xymon?

Fri Feb 16 17:09:46 CET 2024

You could simply look for the '<BODY class="green">' line in the
~xymon/server/www/nongreen.html or xymon.html file.  The color shown for
the "class" will match the overall state.  A simple script could be written
to run on your xymon server to gather this and send it to your monitor.
