Actually, it should be possible to cat (most of) the xymon client script
through ssh to a client system and feed the resulting client output to
xymon.  The *only* thing you need on the client side is a userid with ssh
keys from the xymon server.  I haven't actually tried that with xymon, but
it definitely worked with Big Brother back in the day.
