Is there a way from the server, to find out what version the client is running?

You could add this into client-local.cfg on the server:

file:( echo "client/xymonversion $MACHINE.$OSTYPE"; echo "[clientversion]"; $XYMON --version ) | $XYMON $XYMSRV @ >/dev/null

Assign to each device you want to know about. This causes each client to run "xymon --version" and send the result back as a supplementary "client" message. Then on the server you can retrieve it with the "clientlog" type message that Japheth showed. If you upgrade clients, they will automatically report new version strings.
