So this is specific to your CMDB.

This one still needs to be written, but I don't really want to duplicate 
configuration parsing code (and I believe Xymon should consider supporting 
multiple configuration backends, so a perl module here should really be an XS 
module for a library interfact).

My Xymon::Client should already give you this.

Of course there will be information regarding a host outside Xymon, but the 
point is to have standard modules that support the Xymon aspects, that can be 
re-used by multiple projects.
