You might want to take a look at Jeremy Laidman's excellent xymon-rclient script:

Nothing needs installing on the client server, as long as you can shell into it.

The data for the various graphs are extracted from the client data message. Once you get the client data delivered properly, the graphs automagically appear.

I successfully tested sending messages directly to port 1984 from my client to my xymon server, but I'm not clear on how data that is in graphs is sent/generated. For instance, if I wanted to generate a cpu graph, I can send the cpu values but I'm not sure what I would then need to do in order to generate the rrd graphs. Can anyone point me toward any documentation for this?
