The web servers are behind ELB and only ELB can access them directly, and end user goes via ELB. I dont want the status page to be accessible from internet (i know i can restrict the access from apache "allow from" but dont want to do it)
Let me try one of a solution provided by Jeremy and Ralph.

Hi,
I know how to pull and graph /server-status page of apache from xymon. But my apache servers are into amazon vpc and cant be contacted by xymon. Xymon client sends data to the server.
/server-stauts page can be accessed from localhost, is there a way where xymon client can send /server-status page to the server ?
If your apache servers in Amazon's cloud can't be contacted by Xymon, they're not likely to be contacted by anyone/anything else, which could very well make the web servers useless.
Are you sure that the web servers can't be accessed, or is it more that you're using the stock server-status stanza, and haven't added or modified the Allow from line to include your Xymon server, and so your apache server is responding with "403 Forbidden"?
