Hi all,
One point which I think has been missed - Nagios can accept "Passive Checks", so in theory XyMon could report to Nagios:
On my nagios server the relevant documentation is found under: http://[server]/nagios/docs/passivechecks.html
Hope that helps!
Regards,

I think I actually had this working at one time. I used the NSCA addon to feed Xymon info to Nagios in the form of passive checks. I'm fairly sure I used, or at least looked at using, the hobbitd_sample program to catch status messages passing through Xymon. See the man page here:
http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/docs/man8/hobbitd_sample.8.html
The source for that is in the Xymon source tree, so it gets compiled and installed along with everything else. You could either alter the source to make the send_nsca() call directly, or at least execute an external script with appropriate arguments,
You'll also need to have the NSCA receiver running on the Nagios server, but that might be there already.
I no longer have access to my old Hobbit server, but I might have a backup copy somewhere...
