Various methods of tunnelling Xymon are documented here:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Xymon/Administration_Guide#Encryption_and_Tunnelling

For example, add the following to tasks.cfg:

[xymon-over-ssh]
    ENVFILE /usr/lib/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
    CMD ssh -R1984:127.0.0.1:1984 -o batchmode=yes xymon at xymon-client
'/usr/lib/xymon/client/bin/xymoncmd sh -c "XYMSRV=127.0.0.1
/usr/lib/xymon/client/bin/xymonclient.sh"'
    LOGFILE $XYMONERVERLOGS/xymon-over-ssh.log
    INTERVAL 5m

This requires no additional software.  As long as the xymon user can ssh to
the remote xymon client machine using key authentication, and as long as
the xymon client is installed in the expected location, it should work as
expected.
