It depends on the application you're monitoring. The content of the XML 
document is specific to the application, since it is the application 
that will interpret the XML. So talk to your apps-team, or the vendor 
who sold you the application.

Worst case, do a network trace of the traffic to the application.

Here's one I use, BUT: The XML is application specific, so you cannot 
just use this and expect it to work:

The XML document, stored in /etc/xymon/soap/crud-echo.xml :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<soapenv:Envelope 
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" 
xmlns:crud="http://myapp.myorg.example.com">
    <soapenv:Header/>
    <soapenv:Body>
       <crud:echo>
          <txt>Web Service up and running</txt>
       </crud:echo>
    </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

The hosts.cfg entry (all on one line):

10.0.0.1 myserver.example.com  # 
soap=echo;http://myserver.example.com:/myapp/services/Search?wsdl;file:/etc/xymon/soap/crud-echo.xml;Web.Service.up.and.running
