It'd be good to have this feature working.
In the mean time, you could use "FILE" (in analysis.cfg) to check for the existence of a file, and use a backtick command (in client-local.cfg) to specify the filename only if it's a symlink. Example:
analysis.cfg:
FILE /etc/.sudoers.local red
client-local.cfg:
file:find /etc/.sudoers.local -type l
If the file is a symlink, it will exist. If it's not a symlink, the Xymon client won't see it, and you'll get a RED as if it didn't exist.

Is checking whether a file is symlink supported in analysis.cfg? The man page doesn't mention it but client_config.c does look like it should work.
I have this in analysis.cfg FILE /etc/.sudoers.local red type=symlink
My test goes red with the following statement: File is a file - should be symlink
If I click on it, I see this: [file:/etc/.sudoers.local] type:100000 (file, symlink -> /bw/local/etc/.sudoers.local) mode:440 (-r--r-----) linkcount:1 owner:0 (root) group:0 (root) size:102 clock:1435770054 (2015/07/01-17:00:54) atime:1336161370 (2012/05/04-19:56:10) ctime:1377011564 (2013/08/20-15:12:44) mtime:1377011564 (2013/08/20-15:12:44)
To prove it's a symlink:
ls -l /etc/.sudoers.local
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Aug 2 2011 /etc/.sudoers.local -> /bw/local/etc/.sudoers.local
What am I doing wrong?
I believe this is a bug. Might never have really been fully implemented, actually.
Can you try the following patch (untested) and see if it works for you?
