I have... there's all kinds of information there on interacting with Xymon, including building your own server modules and custom tests. Nothing to help with interacting with the ones that come with the standard build and install of the server portion of Xymon.
Feel free to contribute some documentation for this ...
I can send in client reports of all kinds... but I am having specific problems with the formatting for the client data collector channel on the Xymon server. I can't find any information anywhere on that, or what patterns the server is looking for, etc. I have the option of doing everything client side, but why should I when that awesome module is already there on the server if I can just figure out why it doesn't like my formatting?
You can either use the formats of existing supported clients, or read the source to see what formats are supported, or contribute code to support your format.
In the end I may have to do just that though, or more likely just give up if I can't get any help with interacting with the stock server channels. I refuse to spend hours trying to reinvent multiple wheels. :-(
BTW., which clients did you try?
